No calc yet for Econ major

Im deciding between Columbia/Vanderbilt.

I’m supposed to graduate Spring 2029 but I haven’t taken calc yet. I already finished macro/micro and other basic classes.

Does not having calc 1 done before sophomore year become a major bottleneck? I’m sure I’d be fine in the actual class i just never had an opportunity to take it

Basically if I don’t take calc 1 this summer am I behind.

Just trying to understand how manageable the prereqs are.

I’m a rising sophomore who got in vandy and nyu as a transfer (I’m still waiting on Columbia).

I want to major in economics and use my language skills. I’m fully fluent in English, Farsi, Arabic, Spanish, Italian, and I’m currently learning Mandarin.

If I get into Columbia I’ll definitely go, but if it comes down to vandy vs nyu, I’m not entirely sure. I know both have great opportunities in finance, and good points could be made supporting either side. I’m from Nashville so vandy seems appealing since it’s quite literally next to me, but New York is very appealing as well. From what I’ve heard is that nyu would be better for graduate school tho. I would greatly appreciate any advice on the situation as a whole!
