<p>Hi, I'm from Canada, and I'm looking into US med schools..</p>
<p>I'm wondering what are the pre-med courses you guys are always talking about?</p>
<p>I guess it depends on the on school too? Thanks</p>

<p>ot fulfill these periqs we are allowed to just take higher level courses if we have ap credits for those right? O.o</p>
<p>Yes, but you generally only want to do that in biology or possibly chem. You do not want to do that in physics.</p>
<p>is the next level for physics really that hard?</p>
<p>It's also that pointless. The next level for chem is biochem, which is useful. The next level for biology could be physiology, or genetics, which are useful. Higher levels in physics, and you wind up in things like quantum mechanics, which don't matter for medical students.</p>
<p>Thanks, thats a great site!</p>
<p>Is English usually required, or would another language writing course do? For example I am in German literature right now</p>
<p>most schools that I applied to required "One year of English with a grade of C or better", a few required at least one semester. You have to check the requirements of each school as they do vary a little on English requirements, calculus(some want a year, some only a semester), biochemistry(some do not require it, some do) etc. Penn Sate required a psychology or other behavioral health course.</p>
<p>I dont want to make a new thread for this question, so can someone tell me if its recommended to take regular physics or calculus based physics?</p>
<p>Take whichever one has the reputation at your school for being easier. Calc-based has harder *content *but may possibly give out higher grades.</p>
