Is this a good first year schedule?

Yes, MOST medical school require calculus I and stats I. Some require different things though, so don’t assume that’s always the case. Calc II may be required depending on what physics course you choose (at my school we have one track that is trig based physics (the majority of pre meds take this track) and the other (for engineering/comp sci majors) is completely calc based so calc II is required.

Basically be sure to read your academic catalog and be sure you check with an advisor to make sure you’re getting all the pre reqs done. Also, I’m not sure if your school does this but in the catalog on the biology pre professional major page at my school there is a sample schedule of what a typical premed student takes from freshman year to senior year. Its helpful for planning classes because it usually gives you a good balance of science and gen ed classes. Hope this helps!
