Have you taken AP Calculus?
What score did you get on the Micro AP exam?
If you donāt get into Smeal (you have rigor but they look at math), ask IMMEDIATELY for reconsideration (ie., new review) for DUS/Summer. Youāll get in that way for sure.
Note that Marketing jobs will require you to have a solid background in statistics or data analysis-no need for a minor, you could make an ad-hoc cluster or concentration with your adviserās advice.
I have not taken AP math as i donāt think iād do too well. Micro i got a three but i studied so much so i donāt know how i did that.
I also want to go into law in the future not marketing i just wanted to major in it.
Do you think iād have to call to be reconsidered for DUS?
Only if you donāt get into Smeal.
If youāre not certain Smeal is the best choice, you can pivot to anything with DUS so if you donāt get into Smeal it may be a blessing in disguise to ask fo DUS.
Note that Smeal will require the college equivalent of AP Math but super sped up and intense. You want to review Math before you take the math test.
This may be of inteest too:
They have a math test? I did not know that. What do you think my chances are of getting in being realistic
Iāll look into Communications!! It was my second choice major for the other schools i applied to! I already got into pitt for business analytics and Binghamton for marketing!
Iād say 50-50.
All colleges have placement tests in a couple subjects and always math.
Congrats on Pitt Business Analytics and Bing Marketing, itās impressive.
Thank you!!! Iāll post my results when i get them for anyone looking for something to compare to as someone who isnāt high stats
Instate yes I am not sure about OOS
