[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My D started with calculus in 9th grade, topped out of AP maths in her HS by 11th - and was shut out of all engineering programs she applied to. By topping out with no math in her 12th grade, she got rusty in math. Accelerating in math was no blessing. Algebra in 9th grade can be used as a blessing in disguise, for the right student. [/quote] Are you frickin kidding me??? There is something seriously broken with our admissions system if you daughter, who could do calculus in 9th grade, got shut out of engineering programs because there weren’t any more math classes for her to take senior year. That has to be the most ridiculous thing i’ve heard colleges do yet.[/quote] And PP’s either trolling or not being honest about something. I know kids who went into pre-Calc in 10th, maxed out math in 11th (through multi/linear plus AP stats), used AP Physics C as their senior “math” class and got into Top 10 engineering programs.
