Can taking Pre-Calculus hurt your application in any way?

I have the impression that most college freshmen will begin calculus I or statistics. Is taking pre-calculus at a community college fine and then moving up to statistics the following semester fine?

Start where you need to and do as well as possible in every class. If you do well, nothing will be looked down upon. After you finish listen to this song:

I seriously doubt it. If your MCAT and GPA are good, then it shouldn't matter. Plus, it was a long time ago!

Just eventually need all of the prereqs.

I started with high school algebra first semester at community college and have 3 II this cycle. Taking it won't have a negative impact on your application. Getting less than a B in it though will have a negative impact.

No one would care.

I started out at precalc because I hadn't taken a math course in five years. I just finished my math degree in June. No one cares as long as you do well and satisfy the prereqs.

No one will care, if anything just another easy A for that GPA.

I had to restart my math from math 60, which is high school algebra. Succeeding in math classes shows that you can think logically.

Thanks for the advice everyone. Pre-calculus it is.

I started with "college algebra I" despite testing into calc I because I had switched to nursing and that's all that was required of the BSN. I showed up to class for exams only and got an A. I never really thought about how that would reflect, but I've always assumed an A is an A.

It's very good, and it goes through calc 3 and beyond.
