I am on the quarter system and I know that some medical schools have a requirement of two semesters of calculus (or one semester calc one semester stats).
Would it be advisable to take Calc I, Calc II, and Intro Stats? Or should I just finish off the Calc sequence and take the third quarter?
Thank you,

P.S. Here are the course descriptions:
MATH& 151 - Calculus I 5 credits
(Q, NS) First course in calculus sequence. Limits, continuity, differentiation and antidifferentiation of algebraic and transcendental functions with applications. For majors in engineering, science, mathematics and others requiring more than one quarter of calculus. Credits cannot be earned in both MATH& 148 and 151. Prerequisites: MATH& 142 or MATH& 144 with a grade of C (2.0) or higher OR placement in MATH& 151 or higher via an assessment test score OR permission of a math instructor.
MATH& 152 - Calculus II 5 credits
(Q,NS) Second course in calculus sequence. Integration of algebraic and transcendental functions and applications of definite integration, including areas, volumes, work, hydrostatic force and centers of mass; polar coordinate calculus and parametric equations. Numerical techniques and improper integrals. For majors in engineering, science, mathematics and others requiring more than one quarter of calculus. Prerequisites: MATH& 151 or equivalent with a grade of C (2.0) or higher OR permission of a math instructor.
MATH& 153 Calculus III 5 credits
(Q, NS) Third course in calculus sequence. Infinite numerical series, power series, conic
sections, polar coordinates, parametric equations, vectors in two and three dimensions, lines
and planes. For majors in engineering, science, mathematics and others requiring more than
two quarters of calculus.
Prerequisites: MATH& 152 or equivalent with a grade of C (2.0) or higher OR permission of
a math instructor.
MATH& 163 Calculus 3 5 credits
(Q, NS) Third course in calculus sequence. Infinite numerical series, power series and Taylor
polynomials; vectors in two and three dimensions; lines and planes; partial differentiation
with applications; double integrals in rectangular and polar coordinates with applications.
For majors in engineering, science, mathematics and others requiring more than two quarters
of calculus.
Prerequisites: MATH& 152 or equivalent with a grade of C (2.0) or higher OR permission of
a math instructor.
MATH& 146 Introduction to Statistics 5 credits
(Q, NS) Introductory course. Descriptive methods, probability, sampling distributions,
hypothesis testing, confidence intervals, correlation, ANOVA, chi-square tests. For students
in any major.
Prerequisites: MATH 092, or MATH 098, or MATH 099, or equivalent with a grade of C (2.0) or
higher OR placement into MATH& 146 via a math assessment.
Apparently we have two Calculus III courses.
