<p>does anyone know off hand how often med schools require calc II? i got an A in calc I, but i don't feel it's necessary to take another semester. i talked to my premed advisor and she said really only the ivys expect calc II. i just wanted to make sure this was true.</p>
<p>Harvard. Anyone know of any other med schools?</p>
<p>Hopkins i think. btw, Harvard is one of those schools that'll take a 5 on AP calc BC exam.</p>
<p>the only one i know of is harvard</p>
<p>Nope, not Hopkins. </p>
<p>"Mathematics-Calculus or Statistics, one year (6 to 8 semester hours) Advanced Placement credit for calculus, acceptable to the student's undergraduate college, may be used in fulfillment of one semester of the Hopkins' math requirement."</p>
<p>so are you saying its somewhat essential to take Calc II?</p>
<p>No, I'm saying it's not essential to take Calc II for the vast majority of med schools.</p>

<p>so based on the bryn mawr link, i guess i'm gonna have to take another semester of math <em>sigh</em> well thanks for the feedback.</p>
<p>would med schools care if i take calc I and II at a community college? I already took calc I in my first semester at a community college, then I transfered to the University of maryland for spring 2007, and over the summer i'm taking calc II at the community college near my house b/c its cheaper and closer than taking it at a university.</p>
<p>From what KTD has mentioned previously on these forums, some medical schools will flat-out refuse to accept such credits. You can imagine that the others wouldn't be very happy about it.</p>
