m28 Posted September 3, 2019 Report Share Posted September 3, 2019 Hello! my current grade 12 courses are: - Bio - Chem - Advanced functions - Business - human development (a social sciences course) - English - Calculus and vectors.. I'm really debating whether I should keep calculus or take it out since health sciences programs don't require calculus and it is not part of the curriculum. Would it be beneficial to take calculus during undergrad? is it helpful for the mcat? did anyone not take physics and calculus during undergrad and still did well on the MCAT?. I would really appreciate your input. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would really appreciate your input. Thank you. There is no calculus on the MCAT. There is a small amount of physics on the MCAT, but it’s certainly possible to learn it on your own and do well. This goes for all the subjects on the MCAT. Lots of people teach themselves one or more subjects on the MCAT and do fine or very well.

haenurplaza Posted September 3, 2019 Report Share Posted September 3, 2019 Calculus doesn't help you directly per se but it teaches you how to solve problems intuitively (aka decoding a huge chunk of text and break it down to bits and pieces you can solve), which is a really useful skill to have on the MCAT imo!
