<p>according to <a href="http://admissions.cornell.edu/downlo..._timetable.pdf%5B/url%5D">http://admissions.cornell.edu/downlo..._timetable.pdf</a></p>
<p>for the college of engineering, a year of calculus is required. However, I self-studied calculus and got a 5 on the AP Calc BC test without formally taking the class at school... what do i do now? and I there's no local college for me to take calculus at.</p>
<p>This is the sort of question that can only be answered by the admissions office. You could send them an e-mail.</p>
<p>You didn't say whether your high school offers calculus. If it does, is there some special reason why you didn't take it in high school like everybody else? </p>
<p>If your high school does not offer calculus, make sure that you mention that fact in your e-mail to the admissions office. Also mention that there is no local college where you could take the course.</p>
