<p>For those attending UCI, can you please tell me what math class you got up to in high school?</p>
<p>I didn't take a math class junior year (was going to take it in the summer, but got into car accident) and will be taking 2 math classes senior year and I was wondering if that was a huge negative... since I didn't take a math class my junior year.</p>
<p>Eh..well I'm going to be an incoming freshman but, I took two math classes my senior year: AP Statistics and Trig/ICM, and I had to take the PreCalc Placement test recently. I passed fine..so I don't think having to take two classes will affect you that negatively.</p>
<p>whoa, how are you going to be taking two math classes at once? well, unless they're not totally related like stats & calc or something.</p>
<p>I took pre-calculus senior year. I think you'll be fine, since Irvine does offer pre-calculus.</p>
<p>took calc bc junior year and stats senior year</p>
<p>It depends what major you're going for, I think. Any major that's math-or-science-related (e.g., engineering) will probably recommend that you take four years of the most advanced math you can (e.g. Geometry, followed by Algebra 2, followed by PreCalculus, followed by Calculus), in addition to the most advanced science classes. In that case, you should also take, as well, the Math Level 2 SAT subject test.</p>
<p>However, if you're majoring in something in the School of Social Sciences (like me) or in the School of Humanities, math isn't hugely important. I'm guessing you're in this position, so the two math classes senior year is fine. For reference, I'm an incoming freshman at UCI and Social Science major, and here's what I took for math:</p>
<p>Geometry (freshman year), Algebra 2 (sophomore year), PreCalculus (junior year), AP Statistics (senior year)</p>
<p>I opted out of Calculus because I had four APs already, and didn't have much of a passion for math /wasn't majoring in anything the following year that required advanced math skills. In a lot of ways, taking Stats was smart, because nowadays Social Science requires a base of knowledge in that field.</p>
<p>Anyway, I hope that helps. If you have any more questions about admissions or anything else, you can PM me. :)</p>
