Not taking four years of math?

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>I'm a junior and I am currently in pre-cal. I am actually doing quite well but I don't think I will be able to handle (or do that well) on AP cal. And I really am not interested in stats. So would not having math all four years affect me into getting into a good college? I will be taking four years of science if that matters and am taking three AP's currently.</p>

<p>Do you mean an in-state college? That shouldn’t hurt you.</p>

<p>I wouldn’t take four years of math if it weren’t required. It began with my grade. -__-</p>

<p>Well I live in california so it wouldn’t affect me if I wanted to apply to some UC’s? What about the ivies?</p>

<p>You’re probably not going to get into the ivies without four years of math.</p>

<p>If you want to go to an Ivy, I would absolutely recommend that you take 4 years of all core subjects, including foreign language and math.</p>

<p>In NO way am I Ivy material, but sometimes you just CAN’T. I begged to be put into Spanish as a freshman, but it was full.</p>

<p>Alternatively, you could take a finite math course at your local CC during the summer… if your school allows it, of course.</p>

<p>Well, I am a senior currently not taking a math class.</p>

<p>I’ll tell you what happens in the admissions process. I applied EA to my state flagship, and two other colleges. I find out mid-December. Emory and C of William & Mary are my highest schools, though I find out in April… we’ll see.</p>

<p>@Emory I’ll be interested to see where you get accepted…good luck!</p>
