...physics with lab. and one year of mathematics In general. AP courses taken in secondary school may not be counted. most states require the five premedical courses in college before licenses to practice medicine can be issued Don't plan on anything less than five years of science and math as listed above. Furthermore, medical schools are unhappy with just the minimum requirements but that is something to worry about later. The premedical requirements should be completed by the end of junior year and only under exceptional circumstances (such as a late decision to study medicine) this should...
Everybody knows that a year each of biology, physics and math, and two years of chemistry are required. What they do not understand is the order in which to take the premed courses. Not only do students fail to understand the importance of the "holy order." but, apparently, most of the involved departments are so parochial as to ignore the issue. The priorities for enrollment in prerequisite premedical courses should be mathematics, chemistry, biology, and physics in that order...
...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...
