I'm now officially a third-year pre-dental student, and about to finish my prerequisites for dental school. I only have Ochem II Lab (taking right now over the summer), Biochem (taking I and II), and Physics. For my physics requirement, my major (Biochem) allows me to take either the algebra-based sequence or the calculus-based sequence. I've talked to other pre-health students at my school about which to take and they all said to take algebra-based because it's easier. However, most of them are bio majors and only needed to take up to Calc I, but I've taken Calc I, II, and III, and got As in all of them. I feel like my knowledge of calc will allow me to do better at calculus-based physics more than algebra-based physics. I'm already registered to take the first part of calc-based in the fall.
Am I making a bad decision? Also, are there any dental schools that specifically require general physics instead of calculus-based? If it helps, I live in California.
Thanks!
