Transferring to Stanford without Calculus

I did not take Calculus prior to applying for transfer, and I was accepted.

FWIW though, I put HumBio as my anticipated major, which does not explicitly require calculus. I am refreshing myself on precalc and trig from high school so I can take calc my first quarter at Stanford, and I put a note in my app that I was doing so.

With CS, that I assume you are interested in based on your username, 26 math units are required, including MATH 19, 20, and 21, which is basically Calc 1, 2, and 3… Without having any of those completed prior to your start of term, I would have to imagine it would put you pretty well behind your classmates.
