Math requirements for med schools

I have a question about the math requirements for med schools. Most of them say applicants need a year of math, covering calculus (some want statistics). Thing is with APs I will be taking Calculus 32A in the fall (Multivariable), and I don’t know what to take for winter and spring. I got a 5 on AP Statistics, so if I take the class again at UCLA hopefully it’ll be just slightly harder. But since med schools want one year of calculus/stats, what should I be taking then? My major (Biochem) highly recommends that I take linear algebra. That wouldn’t satisfy med schools requirement stated above, would it? (Although I’d like to think it would 'cause linear algebra is taken after multivariable calc).
