Does not taking Math 55 preclude someone from studying pure maths at top grad school?

<p>So you are a HS student who has taken five advanced math classes beyond Calc BC and you are already washed up for a career in mathematics? That is certainly a shame. Are there any other careers that you have no future in or have you not had the time to mentally project yourself failing in them yet?</p>

<p>Geez, worry about getting a place like Harvard first and then worry about where the road will take you. Einstein was a patent clerk and it didn’t seem to hold him back (but then again if he’d taken Math 25, he probably wouldn’t have had any good ideas after that).</p>
