<p>I’m sure it depends on the school. Some are more lenient than others.
For us, there were ways to get around the general requirements.
After getting As in differential equations and complex analysis, it’s pretty hard for the program to justify forcing someone to go back and take calc 1-3.
An A in physics 2 (e & m) was enough to convince them that physics 1 was not needed.</p>
<p>every school is different though. This obviously won’t be true everywhere. Going to professors/the department head and forcibly asking can work wonders.</p>
