Am I screwed to get into business school since I have not taken Calc

Transfer Students
1

<p>So here's the situation:</p>

<p>I am a 2nd year student at a NJ CC and the school I am planning to transfer is Rutgers Business. </p>

<p>I don't know if it is just Rutgers Business or if all Business schools require Calculus, but the Spring semester will be my last semester before I get my associate's and transfer out, and I still have not taken Calculus yet. (I took the placement test to go straight into Calc, but did not pass. I have to take Pre-Calc first. But if I take Pre-Calc in the Spring, I will be unable to take Calc since I'll be done in the Spring)</p>

<p>Calculus is a required course for entrance into the Rutgers Business Program. My GPA is a 3.4, which is decent, but despite that, the fact that I did not and will be unable to take Calculus before I apply and transfer extremely worries me regarding the chances I have of getting in.</p>

<p>Am I totally screwed?</p>

<p>Talk to the school. They may admit with a requirement you complete all program pre-reqs in the 1st semester or 2. Can you take over the summer before? </p>

<p>Calc is a requirement for B-school program at my D’s college. Without calc, don’t bother applying is what they told her. In other words, required means required, not required or provide a really good explanation. Good luck.</p>

<p>If you are able to take it over the summer before starting at Rutgers, they may offer a conditional acceptance contingent on you taking and passing the course before attending classes at Rutgers. </p>

<p>Or, depending on what your course load looks like, can you add the Calculus course in for the spring and just overload for one semester? I would suggest taking it over the summer if you’re concerned about doing well in the course. If you’re not concerned, try to add it in for the spring.</p>
