<p>So I'm not taking a math or science class this year, and I was wondering if that would hurt my chances at schools like BU, BC, etc.</p>
<p>I'm a senior this year, but I took Calc last year (not AP though, so I didn't get college credit) and 3 years of honors science classes.</p>
<p>I'm not planning to major in anything math/science related (prob Communication...something like Public Relations), so do you think it's ok not to take math and science this year?</p>
<p>Math is very important.</p>
<p>also how is calculus not an AP class? I thought Calculus is a college class.</p>
<p>Well, at my school there are 2 levels of Calc--AP and regular. The regular course is just like a regular college-prep type math class, I guess. Def not as hard as AP. </p>
<p>And yeah, I'm def. sure I'm not doing anything science related.</p>
<p>well, not taking a math class is pretty risky. math is pretty much one of the most important core subjects, and even though you might not go into math related anything, it's a skill that almost all majors require. dont worry about science, if you're already taken three years of honors then you're fine.</p>
<p>I would be careful...my son was waitlisted at BU and he took 4 years math...I remember reading somewhere but can't remember where (he was applying last year) that BU really wants 4 years of math.</p>
<p>Well, I technically have 4 years of math done...</p>
<p>honors geometry-freshman year
alg ii/trig-summer after freshman year
honors pre-calc-sophomore year
calc-junior year</p>
<p>Hopefully that'll be ok?</p>
<p>I didn't take any math class senior year and i got into MIT ... i think IF they offer a higher level math course you should take it... they want to see you seize all oppurtunities</p>
<p>I've seen people skip science left and right. But not math...</p>
