I had some credits, no degree. I didn’t want to take calculus and at the time (I think it would have been 4 courses in it, amounting to 1/8 of my credits).

I wasn’t particularly bad at math, just uninterested in rehashing calculus. Other stuff was more interesting than a double major. (Music, English, Science).

I had been working as a software engineer for about a year, so that helped.

It also helped a lot that I have had some very supportive mentors in my life (willing to recommend me).
