Will the majority of medical schools accept "Brief Calculus" if they require calculus?

[deleted937918]

"Course Description: Differential and integral calculus of elementary functions with applications." That is the course description for my brief calculus class. My only other options (at ASU) are Pre-Calculus, Calculus for Life Sciences, and Calculus for Engineers.

Would medical schools that require calculus look down or even reject that class? (The course description for Calculus for Life Sciences is "Differential and integral calculus of elementary functions. Introduces differential and difference equations. Emphasizes applications to the life sciences.") I'm not sure if I should take that class or just stick with brief calculus, which I have already taken. The sound almost identical, but I worry that the "brief" in brief calculus could be taken as introductory, which many medicals would decline to accept.

Best way to check? Call the med school. My gut feeling though is: "I don't think so bubba. Calculus is calculus, and anything else is non-calculus."

Street-cred?: I teach it...

You are overthinking this. You will be fine. This is a calculus class. They are nt going to be turned off by a class name unless you are trying to submit something that is obviously not what they are looking for (ie. "Introductory Lichenology" as your Biology class....."

I would just take the calculus for life sciences since you can be much more confident that it will be accepted but at the same time I'm sure itw ill be fine. Med schools dont really care how well you can do math anyway.
