What schools REQUIRE calculus for a non-stem kid?[/quote]
 I think they mean it is what will be more likely to get you accepted to a top 30 school. This really depends on what school you are applying to, the likely major interested in and what other parts of the application exist. If the child is  applying as an english major to williams or iowa or BU, ( i chose these at random) if they have a lot of experiences that show their passion in english/writing and don't take calc I dont think it will hurt their chances. If they are applying to princeton than maybe it would? I don't even know if it would matter then either if the rest of the application and grades were exceptional.[/quote]

I am mind blown that there are a lot of kids from this area that aren’t taking calc.  It’s required at our all girls private (students must take either regular calc, or AB or BC to graduate).  I would think not taking it, if offered, would hurt in the rigor category regardless of future major.[/quote]

You are very out of touch with the real world.  "on grade level" is taking pre-calculus senior year.  I suspect more than 50% of HS students do not take  calculus at any level.
