<p>Hello,</p>
<p>Is general chem part of the premed requirement in freshman year? Or can we just take another chem course?</p>
<p>Yeah, basically if don't take gen chem your freshman year you risk having to put off medical school for one year. This is because gen chem is a prereq for the whole set of biology classes (which you start spring of freshman year) and orgo.</p>
