Academic and financial matters

Try contacting your county medical society to see if there are any physicians you can spend time with. Sometimes they may have a list.

samenewme,


Good advice, will do.


Best,

Hello All,


This time is just a short question:


What is the name of the math courses one needs to satisfy the Math pre-reqs?


Does it vary from School to School?


Anything other than Calculus?


The quid of the question, really, is if one can get by with some pre-algebra / algebra courses.


Thanks in advance,

Generally if the school does not require Calc physics, or specifically state “Calculus” you can get away with algebra AND statistics. Take statistics - really!


Kate

I do essentially concur with Kate. I tested into an intermediate algebra and took College Algebra with Limits along with Statistics. Take Statistics really!


From there though I decided I wanted a Trig to prepare me for Physics. But I was also concerned about needing a Calc, particularly as you see some schools requiring it. Fortunately, my 4 year offers Mathmatics for the Biological Sciences which is an advanced algebra with intro trig, rudimentary calc with a smattering of statistics thrown in.


It’s obviously designed to get pre-med, pre-pharmacy, pre-dental, etc students on their way.


Check around, you may have something similar.

Kate and Crepitus,


Thanks so much for your input.


I suspected that unless required “specifically” one intermediate algebra will do.


A “Math for Bio Sciences” type of course is exactly what I am looking for.
