Is Probability and Statistic a required class for pharmacy school?

Would I get accepted if I didn't take one and say took something like Genetics and Molecular Biology, a biostatistics class, instead?

Or lets just say I didn't take it period but got an A- in Calc 1 and B in Calc 2.

It depends on the program. Some require it and some don't. It's not a bad class you should take it. It is a very intresting course.

It's level 3081 at my school.

There are OTHER classes with the names STATISTICS in them. This is the list:

0) Calculus for Biology 1 - level 1251 ( for reference )

-------------------------------------------------------

1) Statistics and Software - 2280
2) Introduction to Multisampling Statistics - level 2285
3) Probability and Statistics - 3081
4) Statistic for Bioinformatics - 7340

I think some pharmacy schools require a STATISTIC class, but nowhere do they say they require PROBABILITY in the STATISTICS class.

I do not know if in a different statistics class like [1] or [2], there will a PROBABILITY part in them like in Probability and Statistics.

I am going to drop Probability and Statistics right now because I am unable to spatially comprehend the concept and when I try to straight up swallow the equation like in Calculus 1 and 2, I fail very badly because I do not know in which situation to apply which equation, and I am unable to comprehend when one situation is changed to a different situation. In this Probability and Statistic class, things seem to be out of the blue. They just use equation, and they're laughing behind my back cause they know when to do it, and I don't.

I think if you ever dropped a Linear Algebra class after one week, you would understand how I feel.

------------------------

I mean, I want to go to pharmacy school, but I'm worried. I don't want them to see that I did well in Calc 1 and 2 but then say I'm too stupid for pharmacy school because I couldn't understand Probability and Statistic and reject me because of pharmacy classes have that kind of math. I'm really worried about this.

Some pharmacy schools do not require Statistics at all. Some may require it but probably not the probability component. If you are set on a certain pharmacy school, check their pre-req's. If not, don't worry about it and drop the class.
