[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here.  When my kids were applying to colleges a few years ago William & Mary and others made clear on their websites that they wanted math through Calculus and that Statistics is not considered a good substitute.  I don't know if that has changed.  What I do know is that my kids with Calculus did better in college admissions than my one kid without.  Most applicants to top 25 schools will definitely have taken Calculus, even aspiring humanities majors, and OP shouldn't fool herself:  without it, you're at a disadvantage.  The only question is how much.[/quote]

Has changed or was never a rule.  I have one graduate from W&M who took AP Stats.  I also have one at Michigan now who took AP Stats.  Neither had problems getting into a number of schools a that level.  I have a junior now show just did registration for next year -- AP Stats.  May be a problem for Ivies, though my kids haven't applied to any.  But with my kids they each got into top level public and privates with AP Stats.[/quote]
