Math Matters: Calculus, Competitions, and College Admissions

Math can play an important role in a student’s college admissions journey, especially for those considering STEM-focused majors and highly selective colleges. Join Zach Galin of Galin Education and Kirthi Premadasa of Madison Calculus Academy for a conversation about building a strong foundation in math, the role of advanced coursework like calculus, and opportunities beyond the classroom through math competitions such as the AMC and AIME. We’ll discuss when students should start preparing, what these competitions involve, and how strong math achievement can help students stand out in the college admissions process.
