Ap Credit - Calculus BC for Pre-Pharmacy

Colleges and Universities A-Z The University of Texas at Austin

<p>Hey everyone,</p>

<p>Well, I didn't quite ask my advisors about claiming Calculus Credit for Pre-Pharmacy.</p>

<p>On the sheet they handed us, they only have 5 classes to fulfill the calculus prerequisites.</p>

<p>I got a 5 on the Calculus BC (5 AB subscore) and that exempts me from 408K and 408L.</p>

<p>The problem comes because neither of those classes are listed as a calculus prerequisite and if I got a 3, it would've covered me for 408C, which is one of the classes.</p>

<p>So out of the 5 options, these 3 are the ones I would take, since the other 2 are non-calculus.</p>

<ol>
<li>408N - Calculus (ALEKS 70+)</li>
<li>408S - credit for 408K</li>
<li>408C (ALEKS 80+)</li>
</ol>

<p>So my question to you guys is, should I take calculus since I believe my AP credit would account for option 2 I believe.</p>

<p>Another question is, I know some Pharmacy colleges take AP credits, and some don't. So if you happen to know this info about the Texas pharmacy schools, could you post it up?</p>

<p>Schedule Question:</p>

<p>Okay, so I went to the last orientation and had a last name between p - z so all the classes were closed basically.</p>

<p>So based on past experience, is it likely that I have a chance of getting better classes?</p>

<p>Another Class Question:</p>

<p>Should I take a UGS class or stat class? All the UGS classes were closed, but some might open up. </p>

<p>I'm already signed up for a stat class, but I don't know how demanding that class will be so I might want to switch.</p>

<p>I don't want to have stat at the same time with bio / chem. However, I took stat in high school, and too bad I didn't take the AP, since everyone in my class got a 4+. So do you think stat will be pretty easy?</p>

<p>I don’t really understand what you’re trying to say on the calculus stuff… You got a 5 on the BC test, just take the credit (408K/L). A lot of pharmacy also require Stat, you should take that instead. I actually have this big sheet that has all the prerequisites for Texas Pharmacy schools. If I find it, I could scan it and post it here for you.</p>

<p>Schedule - There’s always a chance because UT always drop people come Aug. 11th when people don’t pay their bills. Also, around when classes are about to start, students will change their schedules a lot.</p>

<p>Both if you can. Stat is a pretty easy math class. I took Calc with Bio & Chem my first semester and it wasn’t too bad. If you had some experience in stat, you should definitely take it.</p>

<p>408K&L = 408C for degree-satisfying purposes. You will just graduate with more hours than the minimum required.</p>
