<p>On CMU's website, it states that CIT needs 4 years of mathematics. However, if I'm done taking the highest math level offered at my high school by junior year, and I take a college math class during senior year, would that college math class count as 1 "year" of mathematics?</p>
<p>If it doesn't, would that mean I would have to go down 1 math level or something? (I'm 2 years ahead in math relative to my district; I'd be in Calc BC sophomore year) I'm confused about this.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>Yeah, I was a year ahead in math when I applied, and I don’t remember CMU asking me about it at all. They place you based on your AP scores as well as placement tests for some higher level math courses if you like. I took AP Stat as my “math” in my senior year, which doesn’t even compare to your college math class, so you should be fine.</p>
<p>Thanks for responding. My only worry is that I would have taken AP Stat as my “math” in Junior year, leaving me with <em>no</em> math on my HS transcript in Senior, but I’d still have a college class transcript to back me up. So essentially you’re saying that the college class should count in their eyes as a math “year”?</p>
<p>(Sorry if I’m acting redundant, I just want to clarify haha)</p>
<p>Yes that is really good. If they do ask, just send them proof that you took the college class</p>
<p>I took Calc BC junior year and no math this year and didn’t hear anything about it from cmu. Courses like geometry taken in middle school technically count as high school classes. I think they’re less concerned with the technicalities and more on overall course rigor, which in your case, would be more than enough.</p>
