[quote=Anonymous]At most universities, the engineering program is in a completely separate application pool from say Arts & Humanities. For engineering applicants, strongly desirable to have at least one year of calculus in HS. Sometimes the laboratory Sciences (as different from social sciences) are their own admission pool, but often they lumped in the same applicant pool as humanities. Laboratory sciences applicants benefit strongly from taking Calculus in HS. Social sciences are different and benefit more from statistics than calculus, especially population statistics. CS sometimes is in Engineering (UVA), other times elsewhere (WM), and once in a while (UMCP) it is direct admission in its own applicant pool. This is highly variable from one university to another. Calculus is common in CS applicants, so HS students desiring CS should have Calculus in HS. [/quote]
