...heaven's sake, get a good grounding in mathematics before ever going on even to Nat Sci 3. The appropriate math to take ranges from Math Ar to Math 21. The math requirement is the most flexible of all the premed requirements as far as the medical schools are concerned. The med schools are often willing to accept pre-calculus, statistics, computer sciences, etc. to fulfil the requirement. Clearly, if you are a student with excellent math preparation, say an AP score of 4 or 5, you need have little concern except that you must still take Math...
...word about Math Ar. This course was designed to fill a gap which the Math Department denied existed until the inception of the course. Math Ar prepares students for calculus and prepares students for sciences that require facility in algebra, trig. etc. As far as medical schools are concerned, with very rare exceptions among those schools requiring calculus per se, Math Ar is sufficient to fulfill half of the premed math requirement. As a course, it has status with any other: it is offered for credit; and it is perhaps more conscientiously taught than other math courses. Students are sometimes...
...reasonable, recommended beginning program for freshmen with little AP exposure in math or chemistry is Nat Sci 3 and Math 1 or Math Ar More than two premedical courses as a freshmen is unwise unless you are not only confident about your academic prowess in the sciences but also have demonstrated facility in sciences Such demonstrated facility would include previous excellent work in secondary school in chemistry physics mathematics. APs in chemistry--physics math or biology, or, superhigh math SAI scores overs with considerable exposure the sciences in secondary school...
...freshman year, they should not go on. To avoid such discouragements, which often snowball into a disastrous sophomore slump. you should avoid a rough science schedule with inadequate math background as a freshman. If you fear a rough time with chemistry or biology as a freshman, take only Math Ar and Math la or Math 1a and lb and plan to take Nat Sci 3 as a sophomore. And if you find chemistry hard you may well need to strengthen your math background and should consider Math Ar. The worst of all possible worlds is when a freshman loses...
Officers armed with AR-15 rifles and sniper scopes now stand in towers above the exercise yards. Eighteen alleged leaders of the uprising are still held in an isolated cell block under "protective custody." A sense of tragedy is almost palpable in the dark hallways that spread like fingers through the prison. The gloom is accentuated by the wheezing and clicking of gates and locks...
