Math course for premed question

Pre-Med & Medical School Pre-Med Topics

<p>So I think I am the only Asian to hates math (and that is an understatement).</p>

<p>High school : Algebra 1- C, Algebra 2- D+, Geometry- B+ (I didn’t actually do any math for this class, just common sense), Precal- D
You got the point.</p>

<p>So I took a business calculus math class my first semester at Virginia Tech and for some devine intervention and my best friend who helped me every night, I got an A.
Here is the course description:</p>

<p>Calculus with Matrices: 1525: Modeling, linear, quadratic, exponential and logarithmic functions, limits, derivatives. </p>

<p>The question is: Is that enough to get me out of 1 semester of Calculus for Premed? I will do one semester of Stats. If it doesn’t then I am screwed, because of class duplication, I will not be able to take Cal1 but go straight to Cal 2, which will GUARANTEE me a big fat F since the math i’m currently taking is wayyy easier than Cal 1</p>

<p>thank you for your inputs</p>

Here are the [catalog</a> descriptions](<a href=“http://www.undergradcatalog.registrar.vt.edu/1112/science/math.html]catalog”>Undergraduate Catalog-- Mathematics Course Descriptions). You may want to ask a pre-med advisor about it, since the courses are specific to you school.</p>

<p>is it from the math department?</p>

4

<p>You mean my math class? Yes, it’s from Math department, the math is for Business major but no where on the title or description that says Business math</p>

5

<p>It may very well, but I’d consult your pre-med committee.</p>

6

<p>Contact Med. Schools adcoms. My D. did primarily in regard to Math and English credits. Different Med. Schools requirments might be different.</p>

<p>Ok thank you. I emailed my Premed advisor, she criticized my email (content) twice without answering my question.</p>

<p>^
having a a great pre-med advisor, my D. still contacted several adcoms of med. schools on her list directly by herself. maybe your pre-med advisor feels that you should do the same, that is why she did not answer you. Just a guess.</p>
