[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Half of Ivy League math majors took MV Calc and Linear Algebra in high school. This usually means AP Calculus BC in sophomore year, but sometimes means junior year. https://math.mit.edu/wim/2019/03/10/national-mathematics-survey/ This is a huge difference from just 20 years ago. [/quote] Anyone else remember the thread where someone asked about math courses to prep for MIT, and a poster took the OP to task for assuming anything beyond Calculus was required. OK, maybe not required per se, but these results show who’s being accepted.[/quote] These results do not show "who's being accepted." They show the math preparation of [b]math majors[/b] at MIT (etc), which is a subset of the total student body and a subset that skews towards more math courses before entry than some other majors. Signed, Parent of MIT student who was admitted with BC Calc only[/quote]
