School dependent, but I think the answer is generally no.

A few schools require a whole year of calculus (I know Harvard does), but the vast majority do not. A fair number require a year's worth of college level math as I recall, but that can be algebra if you wanted. Check the MSAR.

Only about 4 schools require cal II for matriculation to a medical school. The ones I am aware of are Duke, Harvard, Johns Hopkins and Washington University in St. Louis.

Other than those schools I am not aware of any that require cal II. Also only about 12 other schools require Cal I. So most schools don't require any calculus at all.

From JHMI website-
Mathematics-Calculus or Statistics, one year (6 to 8 semester hours) Advanced Placement credit for calculus, acceptable to the student?s undergraduate college, may be used in fulfillment of one semester of the Hopkins math requirement.

How is this a poll? It's not a subjective question: these days only Harvard and Wash U require calc 2, as you were already told in a similar thread. Only 16 schools require any Calc at all.

This is no longer true. Harvard does require 1 semester of Calculus to give you familiarity with derivatives, integrals, and what-not, but you don't have to take Calculus II. You do have to take a statistics course, though.
