[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You'll be competing with tens of thousands of students who took Calculus as freshman in high school...

Look for a local college[/quote]

This is not true. There are not tens of thousands of kids taking calculus as freshman in high school. Please stop.[/quote]

The original poster was questioning if they should take any calculus before leaving high school and is aiming for a top college.

The juxtaposition is stark...there certainly are thousands of freshmen in high school taking calculus, with close to a 1,000 in the DMV area.  This person would be graduating without even taking it.  Which applicant would you rather be? Of course they don't "need" to take it.  But it certainly isn't going to help them.

1. Show me a single piece of verifiable data supporting the idea that “close to 1,000” freshman in the DMV are taking calculus.
2. This has nothing to do with what type of school OP’s kid wants to go to. It has only to do with you pulling “stats” out of your ass.[/quote]
