<p>^ what they said</p>

<p>The only thing is that at many schools, calculus or other advanced math is a prereq or co-requisite for physics courses, which are needed for the MCAT...</p>

<p>^ Unless you take non-calc based physics.</p>

<p>Are you saying MCAT physics is calc based, or is general?</p>
