<p>Conditions: I have a 5 in AP Calculus BC, which should exempt me from taking both Calculus I & II. However, my advisor said that even with the 5 in BC Calculus, it’s best to take one semester of Calculus I to get a college grade on my transcript. </p>
<p>Questions: Wouldn’t this look weird, if I took Calculus I and NOT Calculus II? How would the 5 in BC Calculus and one semester of Calculus I translate when applying to Med School?</p>
<p>^ Following up on that
I took AP Stat in junior year and got a 5 and then took AP Calc BC in senior year and got a 5. Apparently I don’t need to take calculus again in college? How much does that affect applying to med school? My advisor told me I technically don’t have to take any math but math is kind of a weak point for (trust me I do not know how I managed to score well but then again AP curves are ridiculous) and I am wondering if MCAT math is basic enough for me to do even if I don’t take math in college?</p>
<p>Does anybody know if pre-dentistry is similar to being pre-med? I figure it has similar course requirements, but are classes separate, or is there much of a difference?</p>
<p>How many of the pre-med students in NYU actually get accepted into medical schools? I heard the record was pretty good but don’t know the exact numbers.</p>
<p>Can anyone weigh-in on how physics is at NYU? </p>
<p>(Note: I noticed that it was calculus-based, does NYU have an algebra-based physics w/ lab? The only one I saw was Introductory Physics…but that looked to be a three-part sequence. And as all you pre-meds should know, calculus-based physics is not a requirement for med school. The exact requirement as per AMCAS is just one year of physics with lab.)</p>
<p>It’s not calculus based… it’s just like any other pre-med physics course, despite what it says on the website.</p>
<p>I have talked to a # of people who were enrolled in it and have told me when I asked the same question… but calculus is a requirement to enroll in physics, for whatever reason. Probably because there is elementary calculus operations or ideas.</p>
<p>Hello all, after jumping back and forth between Biology and Biochemistry as my intended major, and after doing much research on the requirements for each, I am leaning heavily toward Biology and will most likely declare it as my major. As an incoming freshman this fall, I will be taking Calc 1, Gen. Chem, Principles of Bio as my math/science courses. During sophomore year, I will take Orgo and Physics. Basically, within my first two years, I can fulfill my pre-med as well as M.A.P. requirements, so I am not worried about running out of time before preparing for the MCATs.</p>
<p>The thing is…I really want to study abroad in London during the spring of my sophomore year because I will be able to take Orgo II, Physics II and even take their Cultures and Contexts course. </p>
<p>Since one of the requirements for the Biology major is Molecular and Cell Biology, I am concerned about not being able to take it immediately after Principles of Biology in my sophomore year. It’s a shame that Molec/Cell is not offered in London.</p>
<p>Would it be okay if I take it possibly during my junior year? And I don’t really know when is the best time to take the MCATs. I have read that most people take it some time during the 2nd semester of their junior year? </p>
<p>these posts have been really helpful thank you so much
ill be going to nyu this year as a 7 year badds freshman
since this program counts as a bio major, it seems very similar to the pre-med bio “track” discussed in this thread
and so i have a few questions lol</p>
<p>has anyone have any experience or heard someone’s experience in International Writing Workshop?
what i heard was that even though it goes on for two semesters, its much easier than WTE and if u get an A in the first sem, u get placed out of the second sem of the course</p>
<p>and im also considering of taking the honors bio
do the problem solving and the research papers in the recitation help a lot on exams?
and would the course as a whole give me a better experience and help me more than the regular bio in more advanced bio courses in the later years and further in my dental school years?</p>
<p>I am between business and pharmacy at NYU. I am afraid that pre-pharmacy might be too hard for me. I was never that good at science but great at math. Thanks if you can help me out.</p>
<p>I am interested in becoming a neurologist and I want to go to nyu. Would you recommend neural science as my major? The reason I’m asking it’s because I thought nyu has a neuroscience major and i am not sure if neural science and neuroscience are the same thing.</p>
<p>Should I major in biology or some other science major instead? I heard that the bio majors at nyu are extremely hard. What’s your advise?</p>

Hello okay I’m an IB Diplome student and due to that we can take only 6 classes in two years and my school had a rule that you couldn’t take Econ and chemistry together so basically I haven’t taken HS chemistry at all. But I have the textbooks and I’m spending the summer getting a basic brush up on Chemistry. However I read that the chemistry department is very strict and doesn’t let anyone who hasn’t taken HS Chemistry take any class int he chemistry department. I’m pretty sure that international students can get around that because we can’t take more than basically 7 classes in 4 years. Anybody have any insight into this?
