<p>While I’m sure your daughter is smart and special (she’s a Wildcat afterall), many people get invited to MENU. (Probably anyone that gets a 4 or 5 on the AP Calc AB or BC exam).</p>
<p>MENU is extremely rigorous, and should only be for those who really love math. My freshman year roommate was probably similar to your daughter. RTVF student, liked math, did well in it in high school, thought he’d take a swing at MENU. He dropped out halfway through the first second quarter. He probably could have done it, but there were better things he could have done with his time.</p>
<p>Further, it should really only be taken as a means to an end. MENU can be used as the pre-requs for the Kellogg Certificate. Its likely a great way for a math major to get a fast start in classes. Perhaps an econ student who wants a math background en route to a PHD. Just because you can take hard classes now doesn’t mean you should – this isn’t high school, its time to take classes you really enjoy. </p>
<p>Safe to say, without more information why your daughter could use an intensive series of math instruction in the future, I say leave her to enjoy spending late nights in TIC rehearsing for shows and not worrying about the linear algerbra problem set she’s left back at elder.</p>
