<p>Do I have a chance at getting in if I do not have math 1502?
I took AP Calc BC and got a 5, but that only fills the requirement for 1501.
I cant take the equivalent of 1502 (calc c) at my school because I already satisfied the requirement by passing ap test. Do I still have a chance in getting in?</p>
<p>I thought, calc. C was a part of BC. Since when is it separate? Also, I’m sure you still have a good chance of getting in as plenty of people don’t have BC credit at all nor have they taken it. If they were admitting like that, then they wouldn’t have a 1501 left. I’m pretty sure that those in 1501 are not merely the ones that did not get a high enough score on BC. Also, I don’t know if Tech even takes credit for 1502 because of the linear algebra component it adds to its course which automatically makes it like 50% different from AP. </p>
<p>Maybe this chart is dated: [Georgia</a> Institute of Technology :: Undergraduate Admission :: Earn College Credit/ Advanced Placement Credit](<a href=“Blow the Whistle!

<p>With your AB/BC credit, you may place out of 1502 via this exam.</p>
<p>This is an interesting situation, actually…</p>
<p>Georgia Tech does not allow people to place out of 1502 with AP credit (due to the linear algebra component of the class), so I would recommend that you talk to someone at your school and GT about the situation. Either way, you will be required to take 1522 if you do transfer. The real issue here is whether GT will accept your AP exemption of MATH 15X2, and I don’t have an answer on that one.</p>
<p>GT will take the AP Calc BC credit if it shows up on your college’s transcript as Calculus II credit. They recommend that you take linear algebra as well in a separate course at your college but it’s not necessary.</p>
<p>Here’s a quote from [real</a> admissions people:](<a href=“Blow the Whistle! (404 error: page not found) | Undergraduate Admission”>Blow the Whistle! (404 error: page not found) | Undergraduate Admission)</p>

</p>
<p>So as long as your AP credit was accepted by your college and that course that was exempted shows up on your transcript as a transferable calculus II course according to oscar then you’re set.</p>
<p>Is it worth it for me to take multivariable calculus at my school, so that I will have a better chance at receiving acceptance from GT?
I am applying as a business major into the business program and although it is a requirement, I do not know if it is worth it, GT being the only school that requires it.</p>
<p>The transfer requirements say 1502 or equivalent is required, but has anyone every gotten in without it?</p>
<p>To be clear, you went from High School (Calc B/C=5) to Some College (AP credit for Calc II) and now want to go to Tech? </p>
<p>If that’s the case, what school are you currently at and what course did they give you credit for? If it’s in the transfer catalog as a 1502 equivalent, you’re fine.</p>
<p>There is a dedicated admission counselor at Tech who works solely with transfer admissions and I would advise contacting that individual with you transcript and questions. Our DD spent 2 semesters at Tech as a transient student and was very interested in transferring. Because of things like the Finite math credit, etc, a transfer to GT would have resulted in an additional year and a half, just to finish the prerequisites ( which cannot be taken at GT). DD is a Dean’s list student at top 50 LAC, but decided she would look at graduate school at Tech. Another student who is now a sophomore at Chapel Hill spent the summer looking at a transfer to Tech and came to same conclusion as DD. This student had an IB Diploma and the math prerequisites. </p>
<p>Transferring to Tech is challenging, but it is a truly great institution. Good luck!</p>
