I’m thinking about applying to NYU this fall coming up and i wanted to know if there is any chance that i can get into Stern without taking AP Calc. I am going to take Honors Calculus next year and I wanted to know if i could still get into such a tough business school without AP Calc. I plan on being a Marketing major, so will they see that and realize that maybe its okay that i’m not really good at math since i only have to take one calculus class once I’m in. I understand that one semester of calculus in college is equivalent to AP Calc in high school but math and i don’t really get along well, so i don’t want to mess up my GPA by taking it next year. I have many other AP classes on my transcript that relate to business as much as possible though. I also have extra curricular activities that also relate to business as well. So please be honest. I don’t wanna waste any time or money. Although i really do love NYU…
I think it’ll be fine as long as your general rigor is good; Calculus in high school isn’t essential to business. You’ll be fine.
