<p>I was planning on majoring in molecular and cell biology (emphasis in neurobiology) If I received a 5 on the Calc BC exam, do I still have to take math 1A-1B? If so, would it be smart to just take credit for these classes and not take them? Is calc really important in neurobiology???</p>
<p>Also, how are the physics 8A-8B classes (introductory physics), compared to physics AP?</p>
<p>If you are pre-med then you should take Math 1A-B.
If you aren't then you do what you want.</p>
<p>A 5 on Calc BC gets you out of 1A and 1B. It is highly recommended that you take a course in statistics.</p>
<p>Here's a brief list of top medical schools and their requirement. Don't listen to the premed myth.</p>
<p>Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California- "Facility in the principles of college mathematics or calculus...is recommended." Even if supplemented with advanced course work and even if the candidate does well on the relevant section of the MCAT, AP course work is not acceptable for meeting premedical requirements.</p>
<p>Stanford University School of Medicine- Calculus is strongly recommended
AP courses are accepted.</p>
<p>University of California, San Francisco School of Medicine- No math requirements listed</p>
<p>Yale University School of Medicine- No math requirements listed</p>
<p>University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine- "Applicants are encouraged to obtain a strong course foundation in general education (including mathematics)."</p>
<p>Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine- 6 semester hours of calculus or statistics. AP credit can be used to satisfy the calculus requirement.</p>
<p>Harvard Medical School- 1 year of calculus "Advanced placement credits may be used to satisfy the calculus requirement."</p>
<p>Mayo Medical School- No math requirements listed</p>
<p>Washington University School of Medicine- 1 year of mathematics (through differential and integral calculus) AP courses are viewed in the context of a comprehensive transcript evaluation and therefore are evaluated on an individual basis.</p>
<p>Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons- No math requirements listed</p>
<p>Weill Medical College of Cornell University- No math requirements listed</p>
<p>New York University School of Medicine- No math requirements listed</p>
<p>hey static where did you get all that info? did you actually go to each school's website or found them all at one site?</p>
<p>Harvard premed resource compiles the list.</p>
