How important is physics?

Pre-Med & Medical School Multiple Degree Programs

<p>I'm a junior right now, and I'm deciding my schedule for senior year.</p>

<p>I'm going to be taking AP Bio next year, and my schedule is full. However, I heard that physics is really important for programs but the only thing I can drop for physics is AP Spanish. I really love Spanish and want to take it next year. Which would be the better class to take? Also, the only physics offered at our school is not honors or AP.</p>

<p>*I can't change anything else in my schedule, and I'm taking AP Chem this year.</p>

<p>I would really appreciate if you could help me decide!</p>

<p>I forgot to mention, physics is considered a very lax class at my school, everyone says they don’t learn anything. So if I took physics it would just be a name on my transcript.</p>

<p>I am taking IB Physics as a senior, and so far I can’t think of any topic in High school or college physics that would relate to the day-to-day operations of practicing medicine. You definitely need physics in college, however, as it is a pre-req for medical school and a section of the MCAT is dedicated to the Physical Sciences.</p>
