I did the exact same thing. You only need to do the prerequisites. No, it doesn't matter where you do them, but it's obviously best if you do them at the same school you intend to attend, as you'll be able to get recommendations from professors in the same department, and obviously the courses will transfer fine.
EDIT: FWIW, at the University of Colorado, I had to do 2 courses above calc 1 - for me that was calc 2 and statistics, as well as 5-6 CS courses.
- jophde 13y agoThat's a really a good point about the letters of recommendation. I think this is the route I will be going down. I had no idea how I was going to get the letters otherwise. Do you have to apply to take the prerequisites or do you just pay them and go?
