[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m just happy that people aren’t putting 3 at the top. There’s too many PhDs coming out of the Ivy league, let alone the rest of the T50, to even begin suggesting that there’s some extreme difference in education. Unless your kid is on the bounds and is highly highly intelligent (like top 0.001%) where they need specialized/accelerated instruction to the level of grad school near freshman year, you’re probably receiving a very similar education to others.[/quote]
Even a standard freshman course like math 2230 at Cornell will exceed the level of rigor of any freshman math course at most lower ranked universities[/quote]

Compre this to the freshman math options at most other lower ranked schools (e.g. any VA school besides UVA)[/quote]

Post the syllabus from a VA school to backup your claim. [/quote]

Prove it [/quote]

Have you taken vector calc? How did the material compare to the posted course? [/quote]

You said very few VA schools teach a course like that. Did you review course catalogs and syllabi before making your claim? [/quote] The poster asking "Have you taken vector calc?" did not say very few VA schools teach a course like that, I did. And yes, I did review course catalogs and syllabi.[/quote]
