<p>Has anybody been accepted to college without taking precalculus?</p>
<p>It depends on your major and the specific college you have in mind. Some mom on CC whose daughter got admitted to Barnard with a non-science major, only finished Algebra II.</p>
<p>lol. I don’t think that taking precalculus is that significant… I went straight from Math B (NYS) to AP Calc BC…</p>
<p>I think the question you mean to ask is “Has anyone been accepted into a highly competitive college without precalculus?”</p>
<p>I know of quite a few kids who went to college, though certainly not big name schools, without taking precalculus.</p>
<p>So can you get into University of Florida without taking precalculus?</p>
<p>Technically you only need Algebra I, Algebra II, and Geometry: [UF</a> Admissions](<a href=“http://www.admissions.ufl.edu/ugrad/frplanning.html]UF”>http://www.admissions.ufl.edu/ugrad/frplanning.html)</p>
<p>I guess it’s plausible. I’m not really familiar with UF in terms of competitiveness or selectivity since I had no interest in it. I’d think that if you’re in-state, you’re probably alright.</p>
<p>My friend got accepted to Columbia without taking PreCalc…but then again she’s hispanic.</p>
