Maybe. Or maybe the math race is ratcheting up. My kid is a senior and they know of nine kids from five different high schools in our smaller metro area who are also seniors who are taking MVC or DiffEQ. These kids list their courses on their linked in. At least two got in early to Stanford and one to Harvard. Who knows how many students are in each of those kid’s courses—it could be dozens.
I am not making a judgment on whether this is good or bad. It is just what I am seeing this year where we live and I can’t help but think it will affect admissions as a whole. My question for the OP is, is their school one of these schools that offers, and perhaps expects, their highest rigor math kids to take MVC?
