Can you get into brown without having taken pre-cal?

<p>Eiffel: How much clearer do I need to say this: I am being deadly serious when I say that I like the idea of Calculus for Poets. No sarcasm. Some schools actually do offer honors calculus that are not AP – I wish more high schools offered these.</p>

<p>Okay, good! :slight_smile: It’s just that you seemed to say earlier on the thread that you think Calc is extremely important for everyone, so I wasn’t sure.</p>

<p>To be honest, Calc AB taken over the course of a year is basically Calc for Poets if presented well.</p>

<p>So, not AP Calc AB but like…a regular Calc AB, you’re saying? I don’t have that offered at my school, unfortunately.</p>

<p>What do you think about me taking “Calc for Business and Social Science” at my CC? Would it look fine on transcripts or not rigorous enough?</p>

<p>No, I’m saying AP Calc AB. Calc for Business and Social Science won’t be considered any more rigorous than a typical stats or business math class.</p>

<p>WOW HAHAHAHAHA. Yea, I know what’s important, but I am 405 posts on a forum of teenagers short of your knowledge.</p>

<p>“No, I’m saying AP Calc AB. Calc for Business and Social Science won’t be considered any more rigorous than a typical stats or business math class.”</p>

<p>Okay, well, I can’t take AP Calc AB though since they only offer it first term. And at our school, it doesn’t last all year, so that’s why I was confused by what you meant. So, I guess “Analytic Geometry and Calculus I” at CC is the way to go?</p>

<p>Not sure. Talk to your counselor and to the CC’s advisers.</p>

<p>Many schools offer AB over a full year and that’s what I’m referring to.</p>

<p>Okay, I will. :)</p>
