[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Very risky move to take Advanced Cal in junior, which is equivalent to AP Cal BC or even harder.  We had a senior taking it who was admitted to Princeton, she pulled a C.  Luckily the offer was not rescinded.  Had she taken that course in Junior, she would be going to Rochester this Fall! [/quote]

She doesn't sound like Princeton material if she can only get a C in Calc BC as a senior.  What kind of school are you going to with that high grade inflation? My public school kid took it as a sophmore with an A but they also were in tutoring as the teacher wasn't strong.[/quote]

Advanced calc is NOT calc BC.  Advanced calc is a much harder and comes after BC.  [/quote]

What is Advanced Calculus in high school? This is not a standard high school class name. I've never heard of it, and no one on DCUM has mentioned it in the past several years.
Some.universities have a class with that name.

I assume OP is talking about a non-AP private school honors calculus class.

Not even Phillips Academy, the most mathematically rigorous high school outside of Proof School and Davidson (which I know you all are not talking about), has a class called "Advanced Calculus".

How many different posters are talking about knowing it without saying what it is, but just assuming they are all talking about the same class?

I have a guess about what they are thinking, but any parent whose kid was in that class would know that 99% of anonymous strangers who have no idea what it is, so wouldn't ask about it casually like OP. [/quote]
