transfer question about deadlines & classes

<p>Ok so right now im in community college (my first semester just starting) everything seems easy, im confident im a pull over a 3.7 which is the goal, now this is really a future question i need a answer to right now, im lookin to apply for the fall 2012 admission which those deadlines will be around march-april im guessing for most schools and probably by december 2011 i'll have 30 credits (taking 13 right now, and going to take 2 courses over the summer then fall 2011 im gonna take 15 credits), the problem is im 2 math classes behind from precalculus, im gonna take college algebra over the summer, then the next remedial math in fall 2011 unfortunately, then by january 2012 i'll be in calculus (finally) but the fall 2012 deadlines are in march/april, know how does this work, since i havent completed calculus by that time will they not know im in it? please explain more to be about this, cause if not should i withdraw from my current history class (cause this class is not needed right now i can take it in fall 2011, im a business major so take in consideration the colleges im looking forward to apply to is NYU stern(dream school super competitive i see/heard/viewed) UofMiami, hofstra,Fordham, Syracuse, UNC Chapel Hill, and then some weaker schools as backup, but NYU & UNC requires calculus which by the time i apply i wouldnt have compeleted it i would have almost just got into the class, the rest of the colleges dont have that as a requirement but i still want to have that class done before i apply, and will a withdraw be looked down upon? will it mess me up?</p>

<p>You can call the admissions office and have a chat with the counselors there about it. Sometimes they will give you a conditional acceptance with the understanding that you must complete the necessary requirements with satisfactory grades before you can enroll in the fall, but I am not sure whether the schools you listed will do this. </p>

<p>If it works out better for you, then you could drop the history course to move up your math requirements. Just be sure that you would easily be able to catch up with the work you have missed so far this semester so that your grades do not suffer as a result of adding a math course after the semester has already started. Those are some competitive schools you applied for, so my guess is that they will want the requirements completed by the end of next spring, as there is no way to guarantee that you will take and pass them that following summer after you have already been accepted. But again, admissions counselors are there to answer these questions for you, so maybe have a chat with a few of them from your top choice schools.</p>
