Some schools require calculus for physics, some don't. And there's a reason for that- physics is applied calculus, and makes a lot more sense if you understand the relationship between equations. That should be pointed out. If ze world was mine, I'd recommend calculus as part of a premed's liberal arts well rounded education. I feel like it's just something to have educated yourself yourself with. A background in math is important for not being a derp with numbers- numbers don't ever go away. I took calc at age 17 and I still remember it's applications nearly ten years later, such as relationships between displacement, velocity, and acceleration. You study those things with respect to vascular fluid dynamics in Med school btw. In conclusion, you only live once, and you're going to be a doctor for Pete's sake, not a janitor. Get an education and learn a little mathematics. The foundation you lay will benefit you through the many math and science topics you will study not just during ugrad, not just during Med school, but throughout your life. I don't see too many college subjects that would affect a person like that.
