Is it worth to take College Alegbra?

Applying to College
1

<p>I am eligible to take Pre-Calculus, however, I plan to stay at this college (I'm a freshman) for the spring semester, and possibly for the summer. I haven't accumulated enough credits to transfer as a regular transfer, thus if I was to transfer, it would be just applying as a freshman, which means I would need to re-take my ACT (my math was HORRID). I'm thinking if I take the College Algebra class, it would refresh my mind and I would do well on the ACT (I'm good on everything else, I had a 29 out of 36 in English). However, I am thinking that if that transfers and is shown on my transcript, that veterinary schools will think I struggled in college and had to take that in order to take Pre-Calculus or I was undecided (because pre-veterinary is Pre-Calculus or Calculus 1) at the time when I started college
I just think it would really help me, but I don't want it to look bad.</p>

<p>Any advice?</p>

<p>Why was your math “horrid”, and do you feel confident that you truly are ready for pre-calculus?</p>

<p>Truly, no one will give a rip that you took college algebra before taking pre-calculus and then followed that up with calculus. What they will care about is the grade you got in that calculus class that is part of the pre-vet curriculum. Lots of people take a while to master math skills. It is OK if you are one of them.</p>
