Your GPA is very important, but you shouldn’t waste your tuition taking Calc I / Calc II. If you’re like me, you’ll probably slack off / not take them seriously anyways.

You shouldn’t do linear algebra unless you really want to - it’s useless for premeds. If you wanna learn it, just independently study it.

I advise either:
a) take Calc II or Calc I and then take Stats
b) Do multivariable and then stats.

It won’t matter much at the end. Plus, you can always learn multivariable / linear algebra by yourself at the end. Option a gives you the best GPA, while b) gives you a slightly better education maybe? But then again, MIT OCW is just as good.
