How common is going to a more selective college without advanced courses in high school?

I admit to being surprised at the very large number of kids with post BC classes, but I also don’t believe it offers any significant advantage over the kids who completed AP Calculus. So much of that is determined by the track you get put on years earlier/what kind of track is available to you in MS. The international students at are school are almost always ahead from the start. Where I think it can hurt you is that if you choose to take Stats instead of MV for example.

Sorry - post edit.

I think more often FGLI students who truly lacked access. The recruits I know were all expected to maintain a certain amount of rigor (remember that this is defined by each individuals context). I know of students who were to add Calc. I know a top 10 in the country recruit that had to redo his Sr schedule because it was deemed too cushy and he had to add an AP Social Science.
