<p>At my school very few sophomores take BC. I am the only one right now, but 2 yrs. ago and next year there were/will be quite a few more.</p>
<p>Narcissa: The % of incoming freshmen who have taken a mathematics course beyond Calculus BC is way higher than just 1%. I would venture to say roughly 5-10% have taken multivariable calculus and beyond before coming to MIT. Some students will then repeat calculus via the 18.014, 18.024 sequence to get a much more solid grasp of the subject (although I think many math stars just jump straight through analysis and onwards).</p>
<p>Hmm, Differential, do you know any students who are young at MIT, like 15-16, if so do they tend to be in Analysis+? Or do they retake Calc.?</p>
<p>it’s true. the guy is smart but doesn’t know how to handle the stress from other classes</p>
<p>There are some interesting statistics at [this</a> page](<a href=“College Board - SAT, AP, College Search and Admission Tools”>College Board - SAT, AP, College Search and Admission Tools). (Caution: it’s a large PDF file.) Apparently, 0.2% of Calc BC test-takers take it in 9th grade, 1.9% in 10th grade, 21.4% in 11th grade, and 71.3% in 12th grade (5.2% are “other”). 58,603 students took the exam in 2006, so you can do the math to find out how many are in each category. Surprisingly, the stats for Calc AB are similar.</p>
<p>(Oh, and you can find more stats [url=<a href=“http://professionals.collegeboard.com/data-reports-research/]here[/url”>Home – College Board Research]here[/url</a>] if you’re interested.)</p>
<p>just accept everyone who took Calc BC in 9, 10, and 11th grade into the Ivys. Around 12,000 people to fill up those 8 schools + other great ones lolz</p>
<p>Wow, those stats are good find fizix2, I’m embarrassed at my lack of knowledge of every single page on CB.</p>
