I will be a freshman student this fall with a major in biology. At orientation i signed up for Calc 1 but I got a 5 on the AP Calculus AB exam meaning I have the option to take Calc 2. I read somewhere that math isn’t that important of a prereq and that you only need 2 courses. My main goal is to keep a high gpa, but i also want to get into a prestigious medical school. Would med schools look down on it if I took Calc 1 or should I go for Calc 2 and go through the hassle of rearranging my entire schedule around it?
