Important Note About Applying To Massachusetts State Colleges and Universities:

Massachusetts has recently begun requiring 4 years of math for admission to their state universities and four year colleges. While there appears to be a little flexibility if the student has very high scores on the math SAT or has completed Calculus, this doesn't apply to most students looking to drop math after three years. (I suspect they did this at least in response to going test optional.)
