<p>I am a pre med student with a little bit of a concern pertaining to the math prerequisite for med school. Last semester, I took the first part of a one-year calculus course (applied calculus I). I Now have the option of either continuing with the next half of that course (Calculus of one variable II), or doing Statistics I. If I went into statistics, would I have to do that for an entire year to satisfy most med school requirements??? BTW</p>
<p>Sorry, posted before I was finished...BTW, I am aware that some med schools require one year of calculus.</p>
<p>Given my options, would you consider Calculus of one variable II the best way to go? Thanks.</p>
<p>only a few med schools require a whole year of calculus (harvard comes to my head, although i'm not entirely sure their requirement is a year of math, though I do know that for their MSTP program they require differential equations...i'm sure there's a few others)</p>
<p>Most schools that have a math requirement require merely "a year of math", which would be satisfied by a semester of calculus and a semester of statisics.</p>
<p>wait.. i received both Stat and Calc credits from AP..
Does that mean i dont have to take any math courses?</p>
<p>ey it dont matter what level of math you take for med school rite?
like even if it take a year of pre-calc or even algebra it don't make a difference as long as it is one year?</p>
<p>1124sjk, most Med Schools do not accept AP credit for pre-med requirements, so unfortunately you'll have to either take those classes anyways, or take more advanced math classes.</p>
<p>Bump this up please...</p>
<p>I would take both, actually. If you had some sort of credit (AB or BC) based on what I've read here I'd say you'd be fine with a semester of calculus and a semester of statistics, but if you're starting at Calculus I it'd be better to go ahead and take II and Statistics, I think.</p>
<p>For Harvard, they accept AP credit for AB and BC calc, but I don't know if other schools requiring 1 year of calc do.</p>
