[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, not taking Math III and Math IV is going to knock this student down a tier in the rigor assessment, even if the kid is not going to major in STEM.  T10 schools know the Sidwell math curriculum well.  There will be kids who did do Math III and Math IV and got As and have overall GPAs above 3.95, usually 3 - 5 kids in a grade of 125.  Remember you are competing directly against kids from your own school (Sidwell). T10 ED or EA will be challenging with this profile, IMO.  [/quote]

This is not true. What matters is that the college counselor tick the box that your student took the most rigorous curriculum available to them.  This is one of the few questions that the college counselor’s at Sidwell will give a straight answer to. I am a Sidwell parent with a Sidwell grad at a T10 and my kid is studying stem and did not take Math III or Math IV. Some kids do not like theoretical math and this is not held against them in college admissions.  The year my oldest graduated, the kids who had stepped down from the advanced math track ended up with better college results. I would advise taking the ED route and spending a ton of time on the application. Do not rely on Sidwell for help with any part of the application so line some one up now. GL[/quote]
