Pre-Med & Medical School Pre-Med Topics

<p>I've been looking through this forum and been seeing the common notion of taking Calculus freshman year because the great med schools require a year of calculus. </p>

<p>I took AP Calculus and made a 5 on it. Should I go ahead and just retake Calculus I and then take Calculus II my second semester?</p>

<p>My current schedule for 1st semester</p>

<p>Chemistry I + lab 4 hours
intro Psychology 3 hours
Human Geography 3 hours
intro French I 4 hours</p>

<p>Please help an upcoming pre-med.</p>

<p>From what I have read, it is strongly recommened that you have a firm math foundation early on so that you can handle the math required in the science classes that are pre reqs. I'd take it as a freshman.</p>
