<p>While all schools list on their website how many years of enlgish, math, etc. they want, they don't say what TYPE of math. </p>
<p>I am not a math/science person and would be majoring in english. All english/history/language classes so far have been at the honors or AP level. All regular classes for math / science.</p>
<p>I've so far taken algebra, geometry, and Algeb.2/trig. I'm debating on what my senior year math should be. AP stats or pre-calc. I think I would do much better with stats but am wondering if this would kill my chances? </p>
<p>I've already met with the AP stats teacher and i'm pretty sure I would do well in his class. So, do I risk my GPA by taking pre-calc or take a class that a school would rather me not take?</p>
<p>I've spoken with admissions at Providence College and they've made it pretty clear that they would prefer to see pre-calc as opposed to AP stats. I'm assuming Fordham would be the same. I have a message into the school but wanted to see what the thoughts of everyone here were.</p>
<p>I got in without Pre-calc. I had geometry, two algebra classes, and statistics. I also received a sizable merit scholarship.</p>
<p>thanks for the info. makes me feel a bit better. Right now, i’d say Providence is my first choice (visiting Loyola this weekend) so still not sure what to do. current UW GPA is 3.7 or so, will have 6-7 AP’s. Only took SAT once - reading and writing were ok, (low 600’s) math was brutal. waiting for ACT score. </p>
<p>Do I take pre-calc and risk getting a lower grade like a C? I think it’s gonna be really hard for me to get into Fordham regardless, so not sure how I should proceed.</p>
<p>What was your science sequence? Again, no honors but 3 labs - bio, chem, and earth. Will take a science elective next year. I think I saw 3 labs is what they are looking for.</p>
<p>don’t take pre-calc.</p>
<p>i’m a current student, and i was pretty much the worst math student in high school. i took algebra 1, geometry (twice), algebra 2, and integrated math, and i still got in. you don’t need the extra stress of a crazy hard math your senior year, especially if you’re applying to liberal arts colleges.</p>
