[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any Ivy plus candidate should be in Calc BC by 10th grade.  That isn't up for debate.  As for classes like English Comp, etc. where one could take classes at the local college, many colleges have age requirements based on the content that will be taught.  Much different to accelerate in that respect.  However, taking Intro Macro and Micro classes as an 8th grader at the local college will be allowed.[/quote]

That is ridiculous. Many HS don’t even offer Calculus. I took AB calculus as a HS senior which was the earliest I could possibly take it, and the only calculus offered. And not AP, because my school had no AP classes. I went to an Ivy and majored in a science. The colleges are aware of what limits exist for advanced coursework in most high schools.[/quote]

Is this true?? I have never heard of calculus not being offered in high school. I know my dad even took it in the 70s in his small town, so did dh in his very small town too. It’s AP Calc and AP calc BC that’s not always offered. [/quote]
