Ok, first and foremost: I am NOT a math person. Nor am I a physics person. Just to get that out of the way...hehe
My dilemma is whether or not I should take calc-based or non-calc based physics next year. I know calc up to an AP Calc BC level and am comfortable using derivatives and integrating, but multivariable stuff = not cool.
Which physics will be more useful for me for the MCAT and for med school? Another thing is that if I do decide to take calc-based physics, I have to take calc concurrently, which seriously limits my scheduling options for next yr.
My friends say that taking non-calc based physics is "wussing out." But I genuinely don't like physics and I wouldn't take it if it weren't required. But at the same time, will non-calc based physics bore me to death and not challenge me?
Thanks so much for your advice!
