![]() ![]() I think AP Chemistry will also work, or IB Chemistry HL exams also are awarded credit. Chemistry SAT subject exam will even place students out of the lab science requirement at GaTech, so it will count for credit, if he takes the Chemistry Exam. Is he going to apply to GT this year? For sure sign him up for SAT subject exams, as I think they may help, but ask the high school counselors about it. If you’re one of them then you have even more incentive to try to take calculus during your senior So your youngest may still get accepted to GaTech, but just could not get into the distance math class? That said, some students balk at the summer opportunity. There is nothing wrong with the summer program, and if your don’t otherwise have plans for that summer, it’s a fantastic way to get introduced to college life and make some friends before fall classes start. If Tech otherwise likes your application, which they likely will, then by not taking calculus you may be increasing your chances of having to start in the summer. Tech has a summer admissions program where students can complete an introductory calculus class that also includes some pre-calculus before the rest of the class starts in the fall. You otherwise have a strong application, so maybe you’ll be part of the 5% who get accepted without calculus, but if I were you, I’d try to add a calculus class to your schedule. ![]() And because many Tech students change their major, admissions wants to make sure those they accept can thrive at the institute regardless of major. Because all majors at Tech are bachelor’s of science programs and Calculus is required for almost all of them, admissions rightly views having a proven ability to succeed in calculus as important. ~95% of incoming Tech students have taken calculus in high school and the business major at Tech requires a calculus class, although you can meet the requirement with a survey course. Calculus is not required, but you are likely hurting your chances by not taking it. ![]()
