[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, not taking Math III and Math IV is going to knock this student down a tier in the rigor assessment, even if the kid is not going to major in STEM.  T10 schools know the Sidwell math curriculum well.  There will be kids who did do Math III and Math IV and got As and have overall GPAs above 3.95, usually 3 - 5 kids in a grade of 125.  Remember you are competing directly against kids from your own school (Sidwell). T10 ED or EA will be challenging with this profile, IMO.  [/quote]

No it isn't. There are many T10 admits from Sidwell who did not take Math III/IV.  Because what matters is having a hook.  There were exactly 2 non-hooked Ivy from my DCs class....so I guess if you want to put this kid up against them....I know at least one took Math IV. But they both had outstanding ECs and I suspect if they had taken Calc I/Calc 2 instead of Math III/IV - they'd still be the two who got into an Ivy. Everyone else got in for hooks and many never took a single Math I-IV course.[/quote]
