A lot of schools require a full year of math, one semester being calculus OR stats. I'd say just take one semester of stats and one of calc to cover yourself. Neither are so bad if you work at it, and it'll look good if you tried. 👍

This info is also really clear on school's web sites, so just do some hunting and you'll get the info you need. 😉

there are a few schools that require a FULL year (2semester or 3 quarters) for Calculus. Harvard is one that comes to mind.

others are ok with 1 semester calc and 1 semester stat (or 2 quarters calc and 1 quarter stat)

still others are ok just as long it was a year of math.

but to be sure check the website of each of the schools you are interested in for their particular pre-reqs

BU: "Mathematics. One year (6 semester hours). A basic understanding of calculus is needed."

Does this mean 6 hrs in calculus or just 3?

All this one semester of calculus talk is new to me. I had Math 1010, 1050, and 1060 (Trig) that's it. No calculus, and I had no problem with all the schools I applied to. I know that there is a few that require calculus but as far as I know this is not the norm.

Same here. I applied to 13 schools, none of which required calculus.
Iowa
Creighton
Case
Marquette
UNLV
ASDOH
Louisville
Indiana
Nova
Michigan
UNC Chapel Hill
Ohio State
Pitt

Hope that helps!

Actually, most schools prefer you to be calculus-free. I mean, don't brush until you bleed that morning or anything, but you might want to consider getting a prophy a few days before your interview.

did you guys who took calculus take calculus with analytic geometry or just regular calculus? The reason i'm asking is because i heard calculus with geometry helps you out in Chemistry and Physics classes? is this true??

I'm glad I'm not the only person who thought this after reading the thread title. 😀
