Question
I've read on the Internet that some medical schools do no require calculus is this true, because i would really like to not have to take it, also i've been wanting to be an anesthesiologist and was wondering if calculus is required for this.

Answer
It has been 20 odd years since I applied to med school so it is entirely possible that calculus is not required any more but I would check at your local college about that. You don't need calculus to do anesthesia but it help to understand some of the theoretical aspects.
