<p>I am a California resident but attend a private 2-year school in Massachusetts.
My concern is that I have not taken straight calculus in college.</p>
<p>1st semester:</p>
<p>English Composition - A
Quantitative Analysis ( I guess it transfers as business calc)- A
First Year Seminar - A
Intro to Business- A
Financial Accounting- A</p>
<p>2nd semester:</p>
<p>English Composition and Literature- A
Statistics- A
Macroecon- A
Financial Accounting II- A
Visual Art- A</p>
<p>Sophomore year:</p>
<p>1st semester:</p>
<p>I expect A 's in all these classes.( Easiest semester in college)</p>
<p>English: Social Issues in Literature
Psychology
Marketing
Business Law
Microecon</p>
<p>2nd Semester: (Planned for IGETC)</p>
<p>Biology
Geography
Public Speaking
History
Computer Science</p>
<p>Overall I expect a GPA of 4.0 or very close to it but I am concerned about not having calculus. Do i have any chance of getting into these schools without it?</p>
<p>P.S- I have decent EC's and work experience, essays should be decent</p>
<p>You can still get in if you're taking Calc 2 late (ie after you apply) so taking Calc 1 and showing them a grade for it should be your priority.</p>
<p>for berkeley econ, youre supposed to take Math31A+31B and statistics.
But you ARE allowed to take one of the math prerequisites once at berkeley. I will be taking calculus 1 in the spring, and if i get accepted i assume they will make me take calculus 2. thanks for everyones input though.</p>
<p>ps. USC only requires business calc, and i have read stories of kids getting accepted without calc.</p>
<p>i took regular statistics. i feel like "calc-based statistics" is a ******** class, ive never even heard of it. to be honest i feel lilke pre-reqs dont matter a whole lot as long as you have a decent quantitative background and have a good GPA. i think ill be OK with quantitative analysis, statistics, and calculus. Ill also have A's in 2 econs and 2 accountings so I think I should be alright. and when you get accepted to berkeley you are admitted as a pre-econ major for the 1st semester where you finish the pre-reqs and then 2nd semester go into the actual major.</p>

<p>Apparently, Stat 20,21 and 25 in Berkeley has prerequisite of one year of calculus. So I'd highly suggest you to take Calc 2 in CC.</p>
<p>Also, econ at Berkeley is Calculus-intensive. I've heard the entire econ series podcast.</p>
<p>OP: You need to keep in mind that California CC students get first priority when applying to the UC system, and even those CCC students looking to go to Berkeley are heavily scrutinized in terms of completing pre-reqs. Nothing personal, but you're coming off as extremely naive saying that you "should be okay" because you have an adequate quantitative background. You don't define what is adequate preparation -- Berkeley does. And they are saying Calculus.</p>
<p>You can just not take Calculus, but you won't be going to Berkeley nor UCLA. Both require Calculus 1 & 2 as pre-reqs to the major. You are right about USC though, they only require business calculus. Good luck.</p>
