Do you need a lot of HS math if you are not going to be math major?

Applying to College
1

<p>I want to apply to ivies and top-tier schools and this is the math I've had so far:
Algebra I, Algebra II, Geometry, Consumer Math, Pre-Calc, AP Calc BC</p>

<p>I've taken advantage of all math courses available to me but it's not my strong point and when I went into freshman year they made me take Geometry, then I switched schools and they said I needed Algebra I, and then Algebra II. Then I took an SAT prep and consumer math course for the SATS before going on to pre-calc. I want to major in social science or English because I don't like math, but I still want to challenge myself so that's why I decided to take AP Calc BC.</p>

<p>My other classes are
World Lit
English 10
AP English
College English Comp
College British Lit
College Psyc
AP World History
College American History
Honors Bio
Chemistry
Physics
Physical Science
Forensic Science
College Anthropology
College Politics of states
College History of Cinema (humanities course)
College Web Design
Computer Skills
Spanish I, II, III, and IV
Health</p>

<p>Are there any other classes you suggest I take because I'm working on a compressed schedule senior year in order to cram a bunch of more difficult courses in which I missed out on because my school just introduced a bunch of AP and honors classes.</p>

<p>You are fine for math. Don’t worry about this.</p>

3

<p>Colleges do like math in general, but even with that, you’ve gone up to Calc BC, which is really good, so I would think you’re just fine with that.</p>

<p>Having taken Calculus BC is a good thing for any major. A 5 on the AP test may fulfill a year of freshman calculus. This is usually sufficient math for biology and most social studies majors (a “more math” economics major, or a business major emphasizing finance may need more). Engineering, physics, chemistry, and computer science majors typically need a year of math beyond freshman calculus. Humanities majors like English typically do not require any math.</p>
