<p>Just know that not taking Calculus will remove the colleges with Calc requirements from your list. If you’re okay with that, there are still plenty of amazing schools. Just determine which ones are the best fit for you, and which you can afford to go to.</p>
<p>Which discipline of engineering are you planning on going into btw?</p>
<p>Perhaps there are schools that can admit you without declaring major and you can take Calculus as freshman before entering the program.</p>
<p>@kevycanuck I’m thinking about doing either Electrical or Computer Engineering.</p>
<p>@billcsho I went to my Robotics coach today and he made some phone calls to the math supervisor in my district and what she said was that they have other students with the same problem as me. She said that we can find some online courses for Pre Calculus that are accredited, and then i can transfer the credits from there for me to get AP Calculus.</p>
<p>Going into college without declaring a major sounds great too, but wouldn’t colleges prefer for you to already know what you want to do?</p>
<p>I think it’ll be better to go straight into the school of engineering than transferring after a year. At my school, it’s easy to transfer out of engineering, but much tougher to transfer into it.</p>
<p>^ True. But that is always an option if everything else failed. By the way, you can study Computer Science at UMich LSA instead of CoE while taking more or less the same classes. That is the only major you can do that though.</p>
<p>@billcsho Wouldn’t their Computer Science program require me to already have AP Calculus?</p>
<p>No. You don’t declare major as freshman in LSA. So you can take Calculus in Freshman year, then choose computer science as major in sophomore.</p>
<p>@billcsho That’s really interesting considering the fact that Computer Science is a pretty intense major too. Do you think that the LSA department of other schools are similar to UMich where you don’t need Calculus as a required course?</p>
<p>Arts and Science departments are usually pretty broad, and it includes everything from computer science to economics and languages. You obviously don’t need AP Calculus for all of those. But you would essentially have to re-apply after a year to the school of engineering.</p>
<p>I think you should be fine for most of your schools, unless your dream school or any of your top choices actually have a calculus requirement. For schools like Michigan, UIUC, and Purdue, Calculus would boost your resume but it’s not required. That program would be a resume booster also!</p>
<p>I went around to the top authorities in my school and district today, and what they’re finalizing the situation to is for me to take an online course during the summer. I’m just waiting on my dad to come back so that i can explain it to him since i’m going to have to pay for those classes.</p>
<p>Note that you can be Computer Science Major in UMich LSA or in CoE. You don’t even need to transfer to engineering school.</p>
<p>@billcsho I’ll definitely keep that in mind, and also try to see if AP Calculus is a possibility</p>
