Generally true. However, there are about a dozen med schools that absolutely do require calculus and another 25 or so that strongly recommend it.
As for the general physics 2 class–I don’t think she’ll get dinged over taking it. If asked, she can simply explain she was poorly advised by her university and she enrolled in the wrong class for her major. No Big Deal.
My daughter for some strange reason ended up taking both, and said that she preferred the calculus based physics.
That’s because calculus was specifically invented to solve certain classes of physics problems. Every physicist/physics student/engineer I know -and I know a bunch-- say physics is easier to understand using calculus.
Both Ds took calc-based physics. One because she was a physics major; one because her undergrad required all pre-meds and other science majors to take calc-based physics. Both said physics just “made more sense” when taught using calculus.
