<p>I'm am currently a first year planning on applying to the Comm school. For the calculus prerequisite, I already have AP credit for Calc 1. </p>
<p>Would it look better/increase my chances if I took Calc 2 next semester?
Or should I just use my AP credit to fill the Calc 1 prereq. and forget about Calc 2?</p>
<p>They’re going to look at your overall course rigor and grades. This means if you take an equally challening class is some other department it is just as good. Unless – you want to concentrate in finance – then they suggest to take more math. Calc 2 is notoriously hard here, I wouldn’t put yourself through that if it is unnecessary and of no interest to you.</p>
<p>Most people who don’t make it into com school end up as econ majors. I believe you need to complete the second semester of calc to be an econ major. Check that website to be sure.</p>
<p>Hazelorb: are you saying that math 1220 is that hard, or are you talking about the 1300 series? My son is in 1210 and is probably taking 1220 next semester. I believe it uses the same textbook.</p>
<p>1300 (the series for which you receive AP credit) is hard wrt calc 2. 1200 series is not as hard at all.</p>
<p>Yeah calc 2 is required for the econ major. I’m not sure if I should take because it would be good to have just in case I don’t get into the comm school. On the other hand I don’t want to screw over my GPA. My roommate dropped the class in the first week and another friend who’s still in it is pretty much failing.</p>
<p>Like I said above,
</p>
<p>math 1220 meets the econ requirement, as well as most requirements for most other departments. Can you take that instead of the 1320?</p>
<p>I could take Applied Calc 2, but it says that Applied Calc 1 is a prerequisite. I think I’ll just wait and see if I get into the Comm school. If I don’t, I’ll still have time to take calc 2.</p>
