<p>My junior daughter is interested in Holy Cross as an English major. She struggles with math/science and I'm wondering how difficult the math requirment is.</p>
<p>One more question. She will not be taking Calc. in HS. Will this kill her chances?</p>
<p>This is the requirements on their academic page:
Common Requirements
Common requirements include one course each in Arts, Literature, Studies in Religion, Philosophical Studies, Historical Studies, and Cross-Cultural Studies; and two courses each in Language Studies, Social Science, and Natural and Mathematical Sciences. No more than two courses from a single academic department may be counted toward fulfillment of the common requirements, except that students may take a third common requirement course in the same department where the Language Studies requirement is fulfilled.</p>
<p>My daughter did take calc (and hated it) but know students that didn’t in highschool at HC. She said you should have least taken stats or something like that though.</p>
<p>Thanks for the reply. I also saw the description from the academic page but I was hoping to see what specific math classes were required. There’s math, and then there’s math, if you know what I mean :)</p>
<p>My daughters choices for math in her senior year are pre-calc or AP stats. I don’t think there’s any way she’s taking AP stats. I think there’s another class but I forget what it’s called.</p>
<p>Here’s a better link, the first one sounds like it might fit your daughter:
[Course</a> Offerings](<a href=“http://academics.holycross.edu/mathcs/courses]Course”>http://academics.holycross.edu/mathcs/courses)
They also have differenct calc classes, for bio, for social science majors, etc.</p>
<p>tellch00 I was accepted into Holy Cross ED and as a senior I did not take a math course. I have four math credit because I doubled up junior year with AP Stat and pre-calc. I decided not to take calc this year because I’m not going into a math major. Since I was accepted not taking calc (or not taking a math at all senior year) didn’t stop me from getting in.</p>
