So I am looking at eventually applying to University of Tennesee, Lincoln Memorial University and University of Minnesota but they are ambiguous about whether or not they require or just reccomend calculus. I am getting an A in trig right now but I am just not fond of math...or physics....but I have to take that so I am sol there. So does anybody know what vet schools require what? Thanks in advance!

UTK does not require it (in fact they don't require any particular math course)
https://vetmed.tennessee.edu/admissions/Pages/admissions-process.aspx

LMU also does not (the only math they require is statistics)
http://vetmed.lmunet.edu/admissions/requirements/

And neither does UMN (you can take algebra, pre-calc, OR calculus, and then they also require statistics)

Of course you will want to keep checking back with these sites up until the time you apply because pre-reqs get updated sometimes. And you can certainly email or call admissions for school-specific questions as well.

Ohio State doesn't require calc or physics now.

I did notice that the pre-req's have changed a lot for Ohio since I applied a few years ago so I would definitely keep checking back on the schools you're interested in.

Here's a handy dandy chart by AAVMC of all pre-reqs for everywhere. I've found it quite helpful. 🙂

Note that this is as of April 2015-- as others have noted, do continue to check what your schools say about this as you get closer to applying.
