Many of the M.D. programs I have been checking out (i.e. University of Wisconsin, Medical College of Wisconsin, Rush Medical College, Northwestern U. Med School, Yale, Loyola U. of Chicago, etc.) do not list Calculus (not even 1 semester) as a requirement. However, in pre-med as an undergrad everyone is hyping up Calculus... saying things like, "Yeah, you don't need it on the MCAT but med schools LIKE to see it on your transcript..."
What's the deal? You all are in med school, is calc really needed? do you use calc on a daily basis? If a person does not necessarily have a strength in math and is applying to med schools that do not require calc, should that person endure the pain of the class just because.........?
I appreciate any and all responses. I'm confused
