Would starting/operating a successful (but small) business help on an application?

<p>Your ECs are amazing, but I don’t think you will be admitted to any schools that require calculus-but hey, I’m no authority! Business calculus is an intermediate algebra pre req, which means you would have to take trig, geometry, precal, and calc1a and calc 1b; 5 classes total, if you did not take them. Clearly, this would take forever and cost a lot of money. Business Calc is calculus, but it is not as rigorous. Some UCs accept business cal as well as CSUs. </p>

<p>If you had done the pre reqs, I would say you would have a beautiful chance, but those classes you are missing are critical. </p>

<p>You’re probably in at USC. </p>

<p>Good Luck.</p>
