As some of you know i'm currently attending community college and will be reapplying for 2019 and possibly 2020. I understand the naval academy is very straightforward with a freshman's or first year applicant's schedule for classes. One of the most important classes from what i've heard is calculus. Recently i was in a conversation with an instructor for a math refresher course i'm currently taking since i did not take a math senior year. I encountered two problems within this conversation:
-Apparently, The starting math course at this college is not calculus, but college algebra. I realize this will bring problems with my application, since this a major course in a plebe schedule.
-I might not be able to take Calculus my first year due to college algebra, and i don't know if i can do anything about that because of the way the system works here. I think Calculus is a second year course here.
So What should i do? i have to take a placement exam for the math, and i'm praying that i score high enough to get college algebra and not a developmental class, cause that will seriously look bad on my transcripts
Any tips would be appreciated and as always PM me if you want to
Thank you to all who reply
