[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Without precalc, my kid was accepted at Indiana and Arizona - not at MD and not at Skidmore. The rest of the application was strong and the student was hooked. [/quote]

What was their highest math?[/quote]

Their highest math was Algebra II.

I do think it influenced admissions - my kid would have loved to attend Skidmore or even UMd - but I could not get my daughter to take a higher math. She was brilliant in languages, English and literature - but had a block with math.

I think other schools were admissions are possible include most of the SUNY schools, maybe Florida State, U of Iowa, and Univ of Kansas, to name a few. I personally think a student with a varied profile like this can get more out of a big research university than a small college because at a big university, they can excel in their strengths while they may end up at a small lac or regional school that is not as competitive in their area of strength because they are limited by their math.
