So you've got a bunch of kids walking out the door with D- in Trigonometry.
I have no idea how that affects admissions at Berkeley, especially when the Op-Ed writer claims kids with straight As in Calc II who are getting passed over.
The SAT doesn't even test for this. It caps out at Algebra and Geometry. Why go to bat for a program that is testing under what freshmen at Berkeley would be presumably be admitted for?
