Wharton and Calculus

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Pennsylvania

<p>I have wanted to attend Wharton for years. I have researched the school thoroughly, but I have heard mixed remarks about a requirement for applicants to have completed Calculus. </p>

<p>Does a Calculus course have to be Completed in full by the time that you apply, or can you take it your senior year?
I go to a school where your entire high school math placement is determined by a test you take in 5th grade. My results on that test put me on track to have AB Calculus senior year. Would I be able to apply to Wharton in this situation? (My other option would be to take a college course next summer and move up a math class, but I'm not sure how this would be logistically sound.)</p>

<p>Just to clarify, I am actually in advanced math for my grade, (sophomore) but “advanced math” at my school means taking calc senior year. Some kids skipped a year due to their 5th grade test scores, but at an advanced rate, calculus is a senior course.
Does Wharton take this into account?</p>
