<p>Hello everyone! I am a fall prospective student in BioE, which I will use as my pre-med track.</p>

<p>I am aware that most medical schools require one year of calculus, and that some of them do not accept AP credit.</p>

<p>Because I got a 5 on AP Calculus BC, I plan on skipping Math 1A/1B and taking Math 53/54 during my freshman year. However, I believe Math 54 is not a calculus course, leaving me with just one semester of calculus.</p>

<p>Keeping this in mind, how should I schedule my math classes? I am reluctant to relearn the material from Math 1A/1B, not to mention their unfriendly curves.</p>

<p>Check each medical school for requirements, since they vary. For example, it looks like [url=&lt;a href=“http://medschool.ucsf.edu/admissions/apply/getting-started.aspx#requirements]UCSF[/url”&gt;http://medschool.ucsf.edu/admissions/apply/getting-started.aspx#requirements]UCSF[/url</a>] does not require calculus at all. You may also want to ask in the pre-med forum.</p>
