Hey all, I need a little help from the experienced people who applied to the Texas schools. On the TMDSAS website, the physics requirement is stated as:
"ONE YEAR AS REQUIRED FOR SCIENCE MAJORS INCLUDING FULL YEAR OF CORRESPONDING LABORATORY EXPERIENCE. Minimum of 8 semester credit hours, including lab, (6 hours lecture and 2 hours lab) required. Must have grade of C or better...
Includes all physics courses applied toward Baccalaureate degree in any traditional science field.
Courses for non-science majors or health career majors (Nursing, Pharmacy or Allied Health Sciences) ARE NOT ACCEPTED."
Has anyone gotten around this requirement, taking algebra-based physics? I don't think my school, UT Austin, offers algebra-based physics that are for pre-meds (only the calc-based physics is described as being for pre-meds, dents, etc...). Nevertheless, I'll check with the advisors, but I'm just wondering if this requirement for calc-based physics is set in stone. The reason I'm asking is because I placed out of calc and it will have been a couple of years since I've taken it.
Any advice, hints, experiences are welcome and appreciated. Thanks
