Does Physics C1401, C1402, C1403 satisfy medical school requirements?

<p>Hey everyone, I’m planning on majoring in biochemistry (leaning towards the one in the chemistry department, but maybe in the biology department), but I’m also probably premed. </p>

<p>[Chemistry</a> | Columbia College](<a href=“Columbia College Bulletin < Columbia College | Columbia University”>Columbia College Bulletin < Columbia College | Columbia University) the requirements for the major in the chemistry department, Sequence A has Physics C1401, C1402, C1403 as an option… Would this also satisfy the physics requirements for medical schools… or would i be required to take more advanced physics courses? Btw, I got a 5 on the AP physics exam… but I’m assuming med students won’t really use physics so i’d like to take the easier physics classes to maintain a good GPA.</p>

<p>Thanks :)</p>

<p>And also I guess… would the physics courses listed in the biology department’s biochemistry major requirements satisfy medical school requirements for physics? for the biology department, it’s Physics V1201 - V1202 General Physics

<p>The physics 1400 track satisfies premed requirements.</p>

<p>Physics 1201 does meet med school requirements.</p>

4

<p>TAKE 1201 TAKE 1201 TAKE 1201 TAKE 1201 (if you’re just doing it to satisfy med reqs)</p>

<p>Two semesters of physics is the norm. C1401-1402 is full of engineering and science majors. The curve is very tough.</p>

<p>Thanks for the advice everyone. but urghhhh I’m planning on majoring in biochemistry so I have to take at least the C1400 … cant take 1201 xO</p>

<p>Just just saw my good friend who took C1402 with me. He got a ‘D’ in the class. On one test, he got a 1. Yes, a 1. We laughed about it now, but back then it seemed like the end of the world!</p>
