Transferring into Stern w/o Calculus I?

<p>Has anyone transferred into Stern (ideally as a junior) without completing the Calculus I requirement? </p>

<p>The reason I ask is because I will have all of the required courses done in time if I was to transfer, except my schools equivalent to the Calculus I requirement. I've taken Business Calculus but I know it "typically does not satisfy the calculus requirement for Stern transfers." </p>

<p>Is it worth even applying and writing an explanation in the “additional information” section of the application explaining the reason behind it if I would be entering in as a junior? </p>

<p>Any suggestions would be much appreciated !</p>

<p>I took business calc and it satisfied the calculus requirement.</p>

<p>Did you transfer as a junior?</p>

<p>I transferred as a soph and I happened to know a few ppl who did transfer as juniors…but all of them had taken calc1 or higher.</p>

<p>Calc1 is basically HS math not college math and since stern is very math oriented for a b-school they expect you to know at least that much math. This is because calc1 is the pre req for their statistics course which initself is a pre req for some of the stern core business courses like Foundations of Financial Markets (the ‘intro to finance’ course).</p>

<p>As for the other pre req’s I dont think theyre that strict about Financial accounting, especially for sophomores ( i didnt take it coz it wasnt open to freshman at my college) but they are really serious about the econ.</p>

<p>Definitely apply, tell them ull take it over the summer (eventhough they dont consider the summer courses ur gonna take in ur transfer app) or if u can do take calc1 coz i like ive said in a million posts b4 stern LOVES math</p>
