I’m having a hard time deciding whether to take Math 16A or Math 1A. I’m currently under MCB right now but still not sure yet of which major I will definitely pursue. I’m really scared to take Math 1A, based on everything i’ve heard about it (esp. when you continue on to math 1B!) I haven’t taken calculus yet, so I’m thinking math 16A might be a better bet…but would the more difficult class (math 1A) look better to med schools? Or would an A in math 16A be better than getting a B or lower in math 1A despite the difference in difficulty?
