Calculus I & Statistics in same Semester? ADVICE NEEDED!!

Transfer Students
1

<p>Hi All,</p>

<p>New to the board and struggling with a dilemma. I have plans to transfer to Univ of Maryland's business school in Spring 07, however I'm trying to ensure that I have all of the prerequisites prior to applying. Of those required, I still need:</p>

<p>Calculus I
Statistics
Accounting I</p>

<p>I also need a few others, but those aren't prerequisites to acceptance and can be taken at UMD (Acct II, Macro-economics). </p>

<p>Although I plan to take Accounting I over the summer, I'm stuck with having to take Calculus I and Statistics in the same semester (Fall 2006). Is this a bad idea? Has anyone ever taken both in the same semester? I will also be taking a few other undemanding courses (Intro African American Studies, Communication, Nutrition 101H and maybe the Macro-economics or Acct II course). </p>

<p>Math is def not my most favorite subject, but I manage to pull in A's and the occasional B. Just wondering if I'll feel too stressed trying to manage both. Any advice/insight/experience is GREATLY appreciated.</p>

<p>I've taken both CALC and STATS, but not at the same time. I will tell you that if you have even a fair grasp of math, stats is simple. Very simple (assuming you are taking a beginning stats course).</p>

<p>I think it is very possible to do both... but that is for me. I don't really know your situation, but be sure not to overdo it with other classes... CALC may be a little more demanding of your time.</p>

<p>good luck.</p>

<p>i took Calc2 and Stats at the same time ... not a good idea.</p>

<p>Calc 1 and stats should be fine. </p>

<p>Cacl 1 is a very easy class in my opinion. </p>

<p>If you do decide to do this, make sure to get easy/good teachers and use ratemyprofessors.com</p>

<p>Two math courses does mean two math homeworks, and that is time consuming, in most cases to do well in math you have to do the homework. </p>

<p>But you should be fine, calc one does not contain many difficult concepts.</p>

<p>dont' stress out...</p>

<p>I took Cal 2 together with physics (calculus based) mechanics together with chemistry at the same time in my second semester and I pull two A and 1 B. :D </p>

<p>It is possible but tough!</p>
