[quote=Anonymous]The colleges aren’t generally requiring calculus. It’s whether it’s a factor in admissions. It has been a bit a bit of a litmus test at some places but I think that’s changing and colleges are increasingly seeing the value of Stats for non-Stem majors. But it’s silly and misleading to point to the minimum requirements for a place like Harvard and pretend calc doesn’t matter. BC will likely tell you they want Calc while BU says Stats is fine. But we don’t know whether Calc will still look better than Stats at BU. Wesleyan still brags about percentage of entering class who took calc (and all three core sciences). This is a hot button issue in admissions and raises equity concerns (half of US high schools don’t even offer calculus!). https://feed.georgetown.edu/access-affordability/the-case-for-de-emphasizing-calculus-in-college-admissions/#:~:text=Author%20Jeffrey%20Selingo%2C%20who%20wrote,for%20students%20who%20challenge%20themselves.”[/quote]
