I did not take Physics for University. Should I have?

Hey there. I'm in first year University, taking chemistry, biology, English, statistics, and a few other courses.

I was contemplating taking physics but ultimately decided not to. I did take physics in grades 11 and 12 . Will this be a problem for me?

Thanks.

first year of college?

you have 3 more years (6 semesters), take it then, but yes you need to take it in college (unless you have AP credit from HS, and even then, some schools wont accept that)

You're applying to med school, right? You'll have to take it at some point unless you tested out with AP credit.

You should be fine the MCAT uses algebra based college physics you wont find anything on the MCAT that requires calculus. The prerequisite for medical school also only requires college physics don't waste your time taking any more classes if you don't need them.


College Physics = Algebra Based Physics

University Physics = Calculus Based Physics

You're only in first year. Just take physics and get an easy A.

Not necessarily.

And unless you're applying to engineering school, then it doesn't matter if you take physics in high school for pre-med.
