Re. math and validating -- is the Advanced Core Mathematics Program only for those planning on having a STEM major? It appears that everyone has to take either the Advanced Core (3 classes) or the Core Program (4 classes).

It looks like the benefits of a high Summer Validation Score, ACT math and AP Calc BC scores would allow you to take an elective or major-related course early. This page says it's voluntary for selected cadets. Are cadets selected beforehand to take the Summer Validation test (based on ACT/AP scores) or does everyone take it and then some are selected for the Advanced program?
