Calm down. People are trying to help you on a topic you posted and you’re snapping at them? Hypocritical much?



The idea that any school would require a specific AP class is absolutely ridiculous.



Re-read her post. Keyword: may require. At many colleges, CMU econ included, it is often expected that if you did not have access to AP courses, you could have taken local community college courses or the highest maths available to you at your school. If neither of those amounts to an opportunity to take calc - IE you live in a very low-income school district or something - then that’s fine, they’ll give you a pass on it.



Yeah, yeah, I understand the purpose of sucking up and being polite in real life. But I’m not sure why I need to accept nonsensical advice from a stranger over an internet message board.



Not sure if ■■■■■■■■… or just wildly immature.
