You are correct. I frequent SDN, and Harvard and some of the other top 5 schools are known to really like applicants with a great deal of quantitative science skill. Many of those who are accepted, like you say, have taken high level math, statistics, physics, or chemistry.

This is unique, and not very relevant to the average medical school applicant. All I meant it to show was that if one semester of calc+stats is able to fill the requirement at a school which heavily values quantitative skill, it should be more than enough for most medical schools. I suppose that I shouldn’t have used the word “benchmark” which implies it should be the goal for everyone; when in reality it is more of a “more than enough” mark.
