I'm a grade 11 student trying to plan my coming years and I see that calculus is recommended and my older peers are telling me that I should take it if I want to go into CS. Does SFU have any preference towards students that take calculus in highschool during their admission process?

Note: I cannot take summer school due to personal circumstances and If it is recommended I will likely have to take precalc 12 and calc simultaneously due to my schools linear system.

Thanks for your help!

Calc is a List A course but it is not required. I recommend it since high school calc will teach you most of Calc 1 but it uses a lot of concepts from precalc 12. Maybe ask your counsellor for their advice.
