[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not having any Calculus is a big no no in almost all top schools, unless you are full pay.

Just too many kids will have had it. She will be below them. [/quote]

If you are full-pay, and affluent, you are definitely expected to have calculus by the time you graduate. Perhaps donors are in a different category.

DC was asked about math progression in interviews at Wake Forest, which is test-optional, and W&L. I think that math level is probably the easiest method for these school to measure course rigor. [/quote]

Because if you are full pay you can just skip all of high school right???  Do you understand how stupid you sound???  Full pay which is most of the class in any college does not = large donor.  Full pay often means upper middle class savers or top 5% families.  Why do people act like full pay is a rare occurrence???  [/quote]
Seriously. All of the top schools could fill their classes multiple times over with full pay students. The idea that it confers any sort of advantage makes it clear that you have no idea re: college admissions. [/quote]
