Okay I have a quick question. Most colleges require three years of math. Okay I’ve got that covered and everything but some of the websites I was looking at say algebra 1, geometry, and algebra 2. Well during high school I’ve never taken algebra 1. Is that going to be a problem? I’ve taken geometry, algebra 2/trig, Math analysis/pre-cal, and next year I’m going to take AP Calculus.
<p>No, those are the minimum requirements.</p>
<p>They assume that because you have taken algebra 2 that you have taken algebra 1 before, and if you didn't you learned the necessary material elsewhere.</p>
<p>no, a lot of kids take Alg 1 in 8th grade (or 7th), so you have completed the requirement with more advanced math. Calc looks even better on the app.</p>
<p>Does it look bad if you don't take pre-calc or calculus? I've taken Alg 1, Geometry and Alg 2... and I'm currently deciding what to take next year. Not a big math fan.</p>
<p>It depends upon the calibre of college you are applying to. Very competitive colleges like to see you do at least pre-calc and calc is even better.</p>
