[quote=Anonymous]A few comments on this thread: Not taking calculus if it is offered, and more importantly dropping down a math level, will definitely be noticed by adcoms and absolutely lessen chances of admission to a highly selective college. Now, whether or not it is smart or healthy to be concerned about that is a much more important question, and impossible to answer without knowing the kid and the family. It's completely OK to make the choice regardless of the lessening of the chances if it makes for a happier and healthier kid. The point made about "I don't use calculus at my job!" may be one of the stupidest things I have read on this forum, and that says a lot. I don't use calculus at my job either, nor do I use History, Literature, Art, Music, Chemistry, Biology, Physics and the like, so should those be dropped also?[/quote]
