i suck at math but i want to be a doctor?

<p>I love the sciences including physics soo I decided to pursue medicine. Math is important in medicne but I am barely getting an 80 in ab calc in highschool!!! What's the chances I will do well in the premed track? Does math really have that big of an impact?</p>

<p>It’s not that important. I mean, you might need to know some math for the physics courses you will take, but in general it is not hard. On the MCAT, you shouldn’t have to do any math that is harder than Calc AB.</p>

<p>Physics has ALOT of math in it, so idk how you could love physics and hate math at the same time. But umm the answer to your questions is no you don’t need to be that good in that to become a doctor, but you need to know some difficult stuff…</p>

<p>Physics math is easy! Its just the more advanced calc… =&lt;/p>

<p>I think being bad at math will be a help. how else can you schedule eight patients in a four patient time slot. GL.</p>

<p>^LOL the politics behind that statement =X and thanks!</p>

<p>im taking physics, and the math in it is hard as fuuckk</p>

<p>My mom failed Algebra 2 and got a D in trigonometry and yet she is a doctor.</p>

<p>Maybe the OP is in a physics class that doesn’t involve calculus-based math? AP Physics B doesn’t but the two C’s do so (s)he is probably in that or another different class.</p>

<p>I think you’ll still be okay. You def. need math, but it’s not as important as science. Also, you’re in AB Calculus. That seems like a hard class.</p>

<p>@shipsarecool, yes this is truth but also my mom did not go to a brand name undergrad or grad and yet she makes the same as someone who graduated from harvard and is a doctor…hmmmm…</p>

<p>@beautifulchick95 ur mom is smart as fuuck then lol. She inspires me, so basically you can start from anywhere to be a doctor ? Like you don’t need to have that good grades in hs just do well in college ?</p>

<p>no. 50% of being a doctor is motivation also depends on what doctor you want to be. My mom does Family medicine so it requires little math besides addition. Lol I would not worry to much about sucking at math needless to say you should still work hard in it.</p>

<p>I just finished a Newtonian Mechanics and Relativity course last semester, and as long as you can take the definite integral of a polynomial and the derivative of a polynomial, you’re fine.</p>

<p>^English please…</p>

<p>^^^ do not know what that means but I agree!!! hahahahah</p>

<p>Issac Newton the creator of calculus! Derivative is just the slope of a given function f(x) and integral is the anti derivative =o! therefore the integral of f prime of x is equal to f of x. is that right xD?</p>

<p>Thanks for the confidence boosts guys!</p>

<p>^^^^merp still dont get it lol. glad I am not going to be a doctor!!! good luck to you and your journey</p>

<p>rmui6768 we said E N G L I S H … @ Beautifulchick - wttf ? Doctors actually need to know that stuff ?? Noooo im planning on becoming a doctor and have no clue what they are saying, is that bad!?</p>
