<p>bdm, what do you show as WashU's position? Harvard says it is "1 year of calculus (through differential and integral calculus) required.'AP courses are viewed in the context of a comphrehensive transcript evaluation and therefore are evaluated on an individual basis.' "</p>
<p>Huh?</p>
<p>Oh, and D's dual credit Brit Lits were at community college while in High School.</p>
<p>BTW the Harvard sheet shows that JHU accepts AP for the calc requirement.</p>
<p>So definitely she should take one more semester of English.</p>
<p>The list I found was linked to from the "Good PreMed Schools" thread and is now a broken link.</p>
<p>AP Credits, I believe, are not listed in the MSAR and will need to be looked up for individual schools.</p>
<p>Any school which claims to evaluate AP Credit holistically usually means they accept it but are concerned. So excelling in Calc III will help them accept your Calc I and II credits; scoring a 14 on the MCAT PS will help them accept your Physics credits, etc.</p>
<p>So the basic advice for a student who has AP Calculus AB credit, is to take Calculus II and Statistics? Or should he just give up the AP credit. I mean med schools do say a yr of math. I mean then again, some like to see stats also. I don't know what I should do. I am starting college in the fall and I sort of need to make my decision. Sorry for the rush, but I am sort of lost.</p>
<p>Yup. (10ch)</p>
<p>I won't be in a disadvantage when it comes time to apply, right?</p>
<p>Compared to whom?</p>
<p>Compared to the average student who just took Calc I & II.</p>
<p>If anything they'll prefer you.</p>
<p>Thanks a lot, you're the boss and the man.</p>
<p>"Regardless, it's not sane to aim for any specific school. You need to meet requirements for lots and lots of different, diverse schools."</p>
<p>Right, I'm definitely not aiming for any school, much less Johns Hopkins. Their requirement just seemed the most extensive if they weren't accepting AP credit. Essentially, to meet math and English requirements for any school, you should be taking a semester of calculus and a semester of statistics, as well as a year of English. Sound right?</p>
<p><em>sighs</em></p>
<p>Yes, take the year of English and a year of math and you'll be fine.</p>
<p>Haha sorry, just have to make sure. With my major and minor requirements, in addition to pre-reqs for certain classes, I don't have any room to take classes that aren't necessary, unless I feel like killing myself for a semester.</p>
<p>I have just completed Calculus BC(apparently I suck at calc 1, but am brilliant at calc 2) and received a three as a sophomore. This year I am enrolled in Multivariate and Differential Equations so I can graduate high school. These two classes are college classes that will earn me CU credit that I plan to transfer to wherever I decide to go for undergrad. I was planning to stop taking math, but I need stats to get into med school, correct?</p>
<p>You will probably need a year of college math, depending on what "CU" means.</p>
<p>Statistics is the most useful and easiest of the possible classes, but I only know of one school (UCLA) that "strongly recommends" it.</p>
<p>Oh sorry. CU is University of Colorado credit.</p>
<p>is calc I the lowest level math in college? and would it generally correspond to the 1st class in a sequence?</p>
<p>^ (10 chars)</p>
<p>My personal experience would be to retake Calc. 1. I got a 5 on AB calculus, and at my school there's a 2 semester and a 3 semester calculus, and my AP credit gave me the first semester of either one, so I jumped into the second semester of the 2 semester one and was pretty behind. They skipped some things and I never really caught up and even though I got a B, I had to drop upper division diff. eq. the next year because I was completely lost. I'm not sure if I should have taken the credit for the first sem. of the 3 sem class or just done it all again, but I would say it's better to be on the safe side than to be behind.</p>
<p>would your opinion be any different if the student took BC calc?</p>
