<p>I want to go into medical field, and after talking to my mentor (a cardiologist), he suggested that biology and stats will be very helpful. Here's the problem, my school only offers two "pairs" of science/math choices for seniors, AP Bio with AP stats, or AP Physics C Electricity and Magnetism with AP Calc BC. I really like calculus, but bio and stats are essential, so which one should I pick? Please help!!</p>
<p>(also, what should I major in college if the school doesn't have premed?)</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>That’s actually a tough choice. Although u may be good at biology and should pick that, physics is still imperative for the MCAT. </p>

<p>…aren’t you still in high school?</p>
<p>Pick the pair you’re more interested in; you’ll do better in a class that interests you. It would be nice to get some AP credit in required pre-med courses, but you -do- have four years of college to take those, and each of those would only be a single class in college–not that much, in the big scheme of things.</p>
<p>Pre-professional ‘majors’ aren’t (usually) majors, per se. Usually, they’ll pick a major that emphasizes skills that they’ll need in that profession, and they’ll follow some sort of ‘track’ set out by the university’s academic advising department. For pre-med, that’ll probably include biology, chemistry, and some maths. I can’t remember what else off the top of my head, but you’ll be able to figure that out as you’re applying to college and choosing from your acceptances. (I seem to recall biology being the most popular major for pre-med students, though)</p>
<p>Best of luck.</p>
<p>Honestly, AP stats is a joke and you’ll probably have to take stats again at a higher level in college. And I would recommend you just take biology at the college level since the material might be a little different.</p>
<p>Take AP Physics C and AP Calculus BC instead. Will boost your application in general, and might save you more credits should you decide to major in something slightly more technical like biophysics or bioengineering, conforming to a sort of pre-med program, of course.</p>
