<p>You don’t have to take A100 freshman year if you really don’t want to, but you probably won’t be able to transfer it in (you may be able to from IUPUI if that works for you). </p>
<p>A100 has really changed a lot though since Vivian Winston began teaching it and 49% of students have gotten at least a B over the past three main semesters. I’d recommend mapping out your first four semesters and summers to see how not taking A100 would affect your sophomore year. A100 can be tough, but it’s probably in the easier half of the I-core prerequisites.</p>
