[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stats is not considered a serious math by most US colleges. 12th graders should at the very least be taking AP Calc AB.

I have a non-math kid and I was told this by a reputable college counselor. [/quote]

Not true.

UMichigan, a highly ranked school, for example, calls out Calculus only for Engineering applications, not even for Science.

Furthermore, UMichigan non-Engineering Science-Arts gives more credit for a 5 in AP Stats than for a 5 in AP Calc AB. Only the Engineering schools gives additional credit for calculus.

The University of British Columbia won't consider ANY applicants with AP Stats. It has to be AP Calc.[/quote]

says Precalculus.

Engineering program requires Calculus indirectly via AP Physics, and B.Science recommends (non-AP) Calculus.
Other programs  (including B.Arts in a science subject) do not require calculus.

No stats though. [/quote]
