[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those whose children took multivariable, linear eq and diff eq, what were their math SAT score?

The reason I ask is because it is incredibly rare to have math beyond Calc BC where I am from![/quote]

My kid who took all three had a 770.

And, it is very very rare for kids in the DMV to take MVC, LA, and DE in high school. Don’t get the wrong impression from this thread.

MVC is more common but it is much less common to do the other two.[/quote]

Agreed. My senior currently taking MVC is one of maybe 10 in the graduating class of 500. Might do linear algebra in the spring; TBD. [/quote]

And those 10 are most likely to go to elite/ivy/CMU/ucb types of schools
My kids magnet in the region has 14 kids out of hundreds; the unhooked ivy/mit admits most commonly come from that group. Fastforward to kids ivy, which has a placement test, and the most common calc class that freshman take in fall correlates to BC calc. A very close second is MVC. For those in kid’s engineering track MVC is slightly more common than the correlative to BC. The class that corresponds closest to AB calc is the third most common for freshman, and the one below that is quite rare. [/quote]
