Pre-Med & Medical School Pre-Med Topics

<p>I'm going to be a freshman in the fall. Do you guys think my 1st semester schedule is good for a pre-med start.</p>

<p>General Biology - 4 credits
Fund Principles of Chemistry - 4 credits
English 2 - 3 credits
Honors class (which fulfills one of the gen-ed requirements) - 3 credits
Intro nutrition - 1 credit</p>

<p>Total 15 credits</p>

<p>I initially had Calculus I, but then dropped it because i thought it would be too much for me for my first semester in college. So I'm thinking of taking Calculus I during the spring (2nd semester).<br>
Should I take Calculus 1 and then Calc 2, or Calculus 1 then Statistics? I'm not that great with calculus, earned a B+ in high school. Is it ok for medical school? Btw, I'm a nutrition major/pre-med track. I'd appreciate anyone's thought on this.</p>

<p>Nutrition’s probably not the best idea. Generally speaking, medical schools are looking for more liberal arts majors (life sciences, humanities, stuff like that) rather than more vocational-type majors (such as nutrition). I’d keep an open mind about the nutrition major and perhaps consider a major in a different subject instead (perhaps keeping nutrition around to either fulfill elective requirements or to get a minor).</p>
