I notice many med schools don't post calcullus as a requirement. Do they just expect you to do it? or Does it not really matter?😕

Just take it. Even if it's not required, it's good for the soul. It's the best way to understand a world filled with change. Heck, you'll probably enjoy it. It's a lot more creative than the math you've been taking in high school (i.e., you won't be following rote algorithms all the time).

It should only be required if you know how to spell it.

I am a junior in HS and even I know that "calcullus" is way off.

I accidently took Calculus. My advisor was asleep that semester I thought I needed one more math. I hated it and only managed to get a B. So I have two full years of math classes. I can say however, that these math classes have never come up in the interviews I've had. That leads me to believe that it really doesn't benefit you much. Maybe I am wrong, but I wouldn't take it unless you really really want to. Maybe you are a wiz in math and can ace it. I couldn't.

You'll need to take physics, and calculus is a pre-req for calculus-based physics. At my school, ONLY calculus-based physics is offered, so, in essence, all pre-meds are forced to take calculus.

Lighten up, yo! One extra L is not 'way off', and we all have spelling and grammar errors when we type on line🙄 🙄
