<p>FutureDr08 mentioned that you have to take AP Physics along with AP bio and AP chem.</p>
<p>I really don’t believe this is true, because I took AP/IB Bio, IB Chem, and regular Physics, and I still got into the programs I wanted to get into.</p>
<p>Physics has absolutely NOTHING to do with med, so basically, they want to see that you can take hard classes (physics being a hard class), so if you can substitute that out with another challenging course, you should be fine. Of couse, some programs require you to take a physics (HPME in my case) at which point you can cop out like I did and just take regular Physics =P.</p>
<p>Same thing with Calculus. It has Nothing to do with med, but they want to see that you can take and handle hard classes (calc being hard, advanced math). There, it is hard to cop out, because math is math. You can’t sub. it out.</p>
