If I cant take AP Calc...

<p>If I cant take AP Calc in HS b/c by senior year il be in Pre-Calc H, can i still get into a university like Carnegie Mellon or any colleges like it?</p>

<p>I really don't think it matters that much. I mean if you followed the math-track at your school then you shouldn't be blamed</p>

<p>if you excel at other things, and challenged yourself with other rigorous material that matches the expectation of such colleges, then you will be fine.</p>

<p>Plus if you have interest in science and engineering, then take calculus and related stuff in your university, plus that's where most people take it anyways.</p>

<p>Thanks. Maybe form 11th to 12th grade summer I may be able to take Pre calc somewhere. I tried it before with Algebra 2 but was unsuccessful. The reason why I am not ahead in math and only at the "normal" level is because I did not try in middle school unfortunately =(</p>

<p>yeah, I can empathize with you on this one. We aparently had some sort of math placement test back when I was in seventh grade, and it happened while I was on vacation in Florida. So I'm in the same boat that you are, because back then I really did not give a crap</p>

<p>Same here, slacked off in 7th grade and had to retake pre-alg. So here I am today in Alg II in 11th grade. I'm taking pre-calc over the summer and hopefully I won't get killed in AP calc next year.</p>
