Is having calculus by graduation really important?

For most of the top schools, Calc in some form (AB or BC) is pretty much expected and you can be sure that most people competing for a spot will have it. That being said, however, you can still get in without Calculus as some people in the IB program end up beginning college with Calc. Nevertheless, if I were an adcom, I’d pretty much expect Calc.

Perhaps you can speak to your math chair about possibly skipping?
