PS
In California, and across the country, they are eliminating the SAT as a factor, because it’s “elitist”.
The truth is that it’s a check on crap schools that hand out high grades to favored groups. They blow the SAT in disproportionate numbers, so it had to go.
Recently MIT re-instated the SAT since they were getting students who had um “problems”. Like not being able to do fractions, even though they had stellar GPAs.
But that didn’t stop Gavin “Don’t Call Me Stoopid” Newsome from killing it. PS, he basically flunked high school cuz “dyslexic” but ended up at Santa Clara U on a baseball “scholarship”.
So we have achieved perfect Idiocracy in California.

If you didn’t have at least pre-calculus in high school and do well in it, you could NOT handle MIT!! AP Calculus would be better!!!! It’s first-year physics with calculus (required for everyone) that’s the stumbling-block!!!! “Physics is hard!”
There are quit a few other hard courses at MIT beyond freshman year, depending on your major. One cannot get through MIT successfully on just “wokeness”, even thought the current MIT President requires “diversity training’ for all undergraduates. PHOOEY!!!!
