[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thank you all for responding and sharing. DD has highest rigor in about everything except Calculus and Physics. Did science research at one of the most prestigious residential summer research programs. I guess she had something compelling despite lower math to be selected. Great ECs and grades. 780 math 790 verbal. All 5s on AP exams so far. Has equal strengths in humanities with honors/awards supporting humanities as well though more STEM ECs. Unfortunately, it sounds like Calc AB senior year in the context of her competitive, rigorous HS will hurt her chances significantly. AOs will know she has the academic preparation but other peers will stand out more in math. She’ll probably still try for REA, roll the dice in RD, be thoughtful about targets and hope for the best.

With this profile she would have been fine in BC. The AP class will not hold her back if she gets an A to submit along with the application. Ideally she’d have AP physics C for the top schools, but she has a real shot. No reason to worry about AP vs BC. It’s a small difference and she proved she can handle challenging coursework.

Most advice I’ve seen is to avoid bringing up health issues in the application and to the school counselor. It can backfire, and be seen as she’ll have difficulty keeping up in college.[/quote]
