<p>Could it make/break an application? I mean at Bloomington, Carlson, and Marshall specifically. Thanks!</p>
<p>I dont know about the others , but its not a problem if you dont do cal for bloomington. I know tons of people get in with scholarships who never did calculus.</p>
<p>It probably isn't an issue as long as you are taking other math courses. For example, statistics would be a good choice for business (esp. AP). Advanced accounting, AP economics, and similar courses would be great choices. Some schools do like to see calc simply from the standpoint that it is the next challenge for many students --- and they want to see them take that challenge. If you challenge yourself in other, relevant ways, you should be fine. Remember, most good schools want to see 4 years of high school math.</p>
