<p>hm…I’ve seen this list before, it seems like its been updated in the recent years.
However, I took a look at some schools that “require” calc and most of them say at the bottom of the page that AP credit can be used to satisfy the requirement.</p>
<p>My brother took calculus at a community college while in highschool and used that on his apps (got into Harvard, UCSF, Stanford, Harvard etc). He says it’s completely not necessary.</p>
<p>Look at my prior post of “best guide for …applications”. It has listed what all US schools require.</p>
<p>
I think only Harvard requires a year of Calculus, but it accepts AP credit.
UCLA and possibly a few more require one semester/quarter of statistics.</p>
<p>According to this year’s MSAR most schools at least recommend if not outright require at least one semester of Calculus. It really just depends on which school you want to attend. I would advise you to go ahead and take it, or possibly pick up a copy of MSAR to see if your choice schools require or recommend it. If nothing else it will help you when you take the MCAT and in stats. Hope this helps.</p>
<p>There are three schools that require a year, all accept AP.</p>
<p>^ which three?</p>
<p>Washu and Harvard are two of them, I forget the third but I think it is mentioned in the link I posted above.</p>
<p>Washu allows 1 semester calculus and 1 semester of statistics. Two semesters of calculus is only required for Case Western MD/PhD program and not the MD program.
Harvard is the only school that requires 2 semesters of calculus.</p>
<p>Johns Hopkins requires one year (2 semesters) of calculus, OR, 1 semester calculus and 1 semester statistics.</p>
<p>I see, perhaps this is a new change at the other two schools besides Harvard. I never really worried about it, but I could have sworn there used to have been three.</p>
<p>^There are 3. Florida International Universtiy(new), Johns Hopkins, and Harvard. All 3 require 2 semesters but if I remember correctly all 3 will accept AP credit.</p>
