Math class disappointment..

<p>I took AP Calc my junior year, was the best of my class and got a 3. I was disappointed, but attributed it to my teacher, as I would've done better if I had been taught more - you know.. the whole learning process ;) Anyway, my senior year I take Calc II at community college, get an A, and it will transfer. I get to orientation and find out that I have to take Calc I again because I never got AP credit for it. Is there anyway around this? It seems like common sense that since I took Calc II, I would have to be profficient in Calc I. I'm going to talk to my h.s. counselor on Monday, but does anyone here have an idea?</p>

<p>Talk to your academic adviser at UM. If you're lucky, s/he might let you take Stat instead of Calc I for credits.</p>

<p>Umm... I never even took AB Calc and I'm taking Calc II first semester. I won't get credit for Calc 115 (I'm taking 116), but I don't think they'll MAKE you take a class you're clearly overqualified for.</p>

<p>I was required to sign up for Calc 115, even though I had college Calc I and II during my senior year because these courses were taught at my high school with other high school students (and were "dual credit" rather than AP classes). I suppose it would be more disturbing if I planned to major in Math or some other area that required higher Math. However, the B-School only requires Calc 115.</p>

<p>Diezel, do you know any calc? Why did you jump right into calc II w/o any prior class in calc I? I mean if you are good at math, you can take honors Calc I.</p>

<p>if your credits actually do transfer, they will realize it makes no sense foor you to take 115. If need be, take a placement test to show you know the stuff. If you talk to a math advisor and explain your situation it shouldn't be a problem.</p>

<p>I should have clarified. I have taken Calculus in my high school, just not AP Calc (and thus haven't taken any calc placement tests in order to place out.) I got an A in Honors Calc tho (couldn't fit AP in my schedule) and feel really comfortable with differentiation and thus, am bypassing math 115. One of the math guys who talked at my orientation said it wouldn't be too much of a problem as long as I knew my stuff.</p>

<p>Alright, a few clarifying things: I'm in engineering, and the Calc II was not towards my high school credit, so it does transfer. My advisor said it wasn't just a state requirement but a national requirement that I took Calc I. I honestly don't want to. I'm signed up for honors Calc I, but now I'll just have to work harder at remembering things I already know.</p>
