[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anecdotal, but every kid I’ve known who took calc in 9th either dropped math forever before senior year or wound up doing an engineering degree at a state school.[/quote] Anecdotal, but my kid took high level math and by senior year had to travel to George Mason for his Linear Algebra class. He indeed does go to a state school (UVA) and is a double major in math and another subject and wants to go into quant finance. He already has an internship this summer as a rising sophomore and no doubt it is his math accomplishments that has made him stand out. In addition to his accelerated math he has won a good amount of math competitions. He has always been surrounded by top math students and his anecdotal experience has been the complete opposite of yours. These kids are insanely competitive. [/quote]
