[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While on tour as a JUNIOR, DD was asked by several heads of departments if she had finished Calculus BC. And these were not top colleges. It is important.[/quote] I simply don't believe this.[/quote] Why would I lie about something so absurd? It happened - at GMU, UVA and VT. We learned a lesson. Child no 2 had calculus BC done by end of junior year and got into UVA.[/quote] Very few kids finish BC before junior year. In my son’s middle school there were maybe two kids per year on track for this, and of the ones in class with my kid, one of them stumbled later (wound up in calc AB with my son during his sophomore year).[/quote] And heads of departments don't generally show up on tours, especially for "average colleges," let alone question students about what they are taking.[/quote]
