Match the course and entry level
The general minimum is not sufficient for every course. Mathematics requires Calculus BC and at least one listed Computer Science/Statistics/Physics C subject; its TMUA rules also depend on application timing. Check the exact course’s AP subjects, testing and offer conditions.
