University of California admissions view of HS Calculus
Hello friends, I have read so many conflicting opinions on the importance (or lack thereof) for completing the Calculus BC course in high school.
I came across this 2016 statement from California's UC system which generally says that "...no single course, including calculus, determines an admissions decision," but I was wondering if anyone had a more recent statement from the UC system that confirms or contradicts this 2016 information. I understand the importance of math, but not necessarily Calculus.
My daughter, who is currently a Junior, has taken the first 3 years of honors Math, followed by PreCalculus, and is now in Statistics. At the moment she is interested in health sciences, perhaps public health and/or nursing. Her school offers advanced math/science in areas of statistics, neuroscience, and biotech-- all courses that I feel align with her interests, challenge her, and lead toward her goals. It's just it may not leave room for Calculus. Something has to give!
Thank you for reading and for your thoughts.
