<p>Full disclosure. Live in Texas but not from here. S1 is NMSF (likely NMF) he got 800 on math 2 subject test. I had algebra 1 and geometry . I hold a BS. Many degrees do not require much if any Math much less algebra 2 or calculus. If the college does not require it why should h’s? I have heard of no 4 year degree program that does not require at least 2 English courses. Mostkids interested in sciences will take those courses to improve themselves for college. No need for it to be a minimum requirement for all students.</p>
