<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>I just completed my first day of college as a freshman today (yay) and I pretty much enjoyed every class with the exception of calculus for engineers. I’m majoring in Bioengineering and at my uni we have to take calculus I, II and II for engineers rather than the regular calc.</p>
<p>Here’s my issue: I went to high school abroad and didn’t get an opportunity to take calculus in 12th grade. I studied pre-calc in 11th which, technically, qualified me for taking calculus in college. Now, since I am considering transfer for sophmore standing, I was wondering whether I should:</p>
<li>take calculus for engineers and risk lowering my g.p.a</li>
<li>take precalculus (and potentially risk looking stupid on the transfer app?) this semester and after regaining touch with math again, take calculus for engineers in Spring
or</li>
<li>Take brief calc in prep for taking calc for engg in Spring?</li>
</ol>
<p>What should I do? I’m really nervous and don’t want to jeapordize either my grades or my transfer chances. I’m not avoiding hard work, but consequences are making it so that I am feeling very uncomfortable with my present calc class. :(</p>
<p>I’d really appreciate your ‘words of wisdom’. thanks</p>
