Here is an interesting point about medical schools. Virtually all medical
schools require a year of college physics. Calculus-based physics is
preferred by many, but some will accept trig physics. On the other hand,
medical schools require very little biology at the college level (they
figure the students will learn most of their anatomy/physiology etc. in
medical school). So you can get into medical school with only a general
biology course in college, but you need a full year of physics and two years
of chemistry. However, this message is not filtering down to the high
schools. Pre-med students in high school assume biology is much more
important than physics (and chemistry). This is wrong, wrong, wrong.
