How much will not having AP Calculus hurt me in admissions?

<p>You don’t provide enough facts. First, are you going into a STEM major? If so, completion of calculus in high school is strongly encouraged, if not expected. If you are not going into a STEM major, completion of calculus may not affect your admission chances as much. Second, what type of schools are you applying to? Top tier, mid-tier, etc? The more competitive the school, the more the admissions office want to see students who have challenged themselves with the offerings at their high school. At any rate, it is important to note that your admission to a school rarely comes down to one test score, one class, one grade, etc.</p>
