Do I have a shot at top schools without honors math in HS?

<p>Throughout high school I have taken every single honors and AP class offered besides math because it is my weak point. I’m currently in my junior year of HS and my schedule consists of: fifth level Italian (honors), Precalculus (non honors), AP Biology, AP US History, AP English Language, and Honors Humanities. </p>

<p>However, I will be taking AP Calculus AB next year because it is on the track I am in.</p>

<p>My GPA is strong and will improve this year.</p>

<p>My dream school is UMich and I will be applying next year. I am expected to score 2150+ on my SAT and take a few more SAT IIs. I heard most UMich students are strong math students… do you think that this will hurt my admission chances?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>You can get in. I would recommend taking Calc Ab over the summer/ self study it/</p>

<p>that’s seems fine, especially if you aren’t going into math-related major</p>

<p>Thats fine. Calculus AB is not even required for mst top schools</p>

<p>OP, you’re taking calculus so you should be fine.</p>

<p>(That doesn’t mean you’ll get in…it just means that, if you get rejected, math won’t be the reason. And at top schools there often is no reason.)</p>
