How Fundamental Is Calculus?

<p>My son also was not able to take Calc in HS due to way other math classes and courses worked out. He got into UVA (early admission) which is highly rated by everybody (US News & World Report lists it as second best public school; Newsweek deemed it a “new Ivy” ; and even Washington Monthly’s iconoclastic rankings had it as # 20 in nation) although it’s not HYP. </p>

<p>As for law school, I do not know of a single accredited one that requires it.<br>
Statistics will be handy for anything - especially evaluating signficance of statistical evidence at trials independently of your experts . Bottom line:
If you are worried about it, talk with your guidance counselor as most colleges have an evaluation form for him/her to fill out that asks whether your courses were hard/medium/easy for your school as well as space to explain why Calc was not in the cards for you.
GOOD LUCK</p>
