Also depends what courses are available to students at different schools. Colleges take that into account.


This is correct. The highest level of math our school offers is AP Calc AB, and that’s for seniors.

For those of you whose children went beyond BC Calculus, where did they take these courses if they are not offered at the school? My DC's school tops out with BC and AP Statistics. Also, did your children take any math courses over the Summers?

Are elite colleges using an A in BC Calc junior year and A in Linear Algebra senior year as the current gate-keeping mechanism? Grades in those courses certainly have a much higher ability ceiling than the SAT.

Just curious what you think most helped your student get accepted to Princeton CS? That would be one of my DDs dream options

Usually a semester each, depends on the school how things are combined. For a year of analysis, it can be multivar with intro to dif eq. These are HS intro classes
