"but it sounds to me if a 9th grader is only taking Algebra I, isn’t that an academic deficiency? I thought top tier BS’s only accept students of exceptional aptitude who are very well prepared. "

My child’s school is a K-8 public- there is no option for taking Algebra I in 8th grade. She is gifted, skipped a grade and is of exceptional aptitude- math included. But she will not have had Algebra I when she enters BS.
