What Classes Should A Pre-Med Take?

Hi,
I have been trying to decide which series of math and chemistry I should take for a pre-med or a pre-pharm major. Can anyone help me out?

There is a premed forum on this site that can help you with this. Which series of math/ science courses depends on which med school you want to apply to. Some med schools will accept the watered down versions of math/ science courses and some will only accept the harder ones.

Actually med schools don't differentiate between series since the different series are geared towards different groups of people (ie life science people versus engineering people). And anyways, the curve would be against a bunch of pre-meds anyways (if there is one to begin with) so even though one path may be easier than another, there still isn't any *easy* path

I've read that the 3 series is easier than the 30 series. Would this work in my favor, or will the curve work against me?

Also, if I take the chem 20a class, then wouldn't I have to compete with engineering students?

20a is for engineers and physical science majors.

take the 3 series and 14 series. They are easier.
