No calculus before graduation

I recall seeing on a thread here months ago mention of a kid at one of the well-known LACs (perhaps Swarthmore) who was the only student in their class of 20 who had not previously taken calculus in high school.

<p>Perhaps this thread?
<a href=“No Calc 101 for you! - Parents Forum - College Confidential Forums”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/parents-forum/1556885-no-calc-101-for-you-p1.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>It describes a frosh at an unnamed LAC (in CTCL and on the quarter system) who was kicked out of a calculus 1 course because “our Calc 101 for students w/calculus+ in HS” even though its listed prerequisite was “4 yrs HS math, w/precalculus”. A possible ulterior motive was that the course was over-enrolled and they needed to find some way of reducing enrollment (since a LAC may be trying to keep the class size down and would not just add TAs (which it probably does not have anyway) to accommodate more students like at a research university).</p>
