Hi, so I’ll be entering as a freshman fall 2017 as a MCB major.
I’ve been doing some research and am worried about which classes I should take to fulfill medical school reqs.

My major doesn’t accept math 16 series. Should I take Math 10A or 1A? Which is considered “easier?” Is there a big difference if I took one or the other? I got a 5 in AP Calc BC but am definitely not that good at math. I also barely have any stats background.

Does Bio 1B have any prereqs? I was considering taking Bio 1B fall sem and then Chem 1A spring. Is there any difference in taking either courses fall vs. spring? Also what about chem 1AL? Should I take that instead?

Any suggestions on how many units I should take? What do pre-meds usually take at cal?

Thanks so much!
