Calculus Requirement

[dcao]

Does anyone know of any schools that require Calculus as a prerequisite? I have a couple of schools I've looked up and none of them required them, so I'm not taking Calculus. But, I'm just wondering if there are any known schools out there that do require it.

I believe Harvad, Boston and a third school I can't remember do.

Just check the schools that require it if you are worried. Look at the schools you are thinking of applying to so you can see for yourself. If you are that against taking it, just be prepared to not apply to certain schools.

Thanks for that spreadsheet, it has a lot of information all in one area. I'm not a traditional student, so I'm trying to take just the core prerequisites.

Ah, don't worry about calc then. Just make sure when you apply to double check that you have done all the prereqs for the schools you apply to.

No, Harvard requires it as well.

Yes, the third school I couldn't remember!

I believe these are the only 3 schools that need a calc course out of you.

I recently chose to drop calc for the fall, because I also am post-bacc and non-trad and there seems to be no need to take calc, because lord knows I am not getting into Harvard!

Im going to take calculus regardless. Its only going to boost your application and I hear it isnt even that difficult.
