Hey,
So I’m on the Pre-Med track (currently majoring in Managmt Sci…but might change to Psych), and was wondering if you could help me choose between Physics 1 or 2 series for the Med Requirement. I know 1 series is algebra based, and 2 series is calc based. So…1 series would definitely boost my GPA. But I heard that some schools require calc based physics. Which series would you recommend to me to be more prepped for the MCAT and Med School? I’m planning on taking a physics course during summer session 1 (in a week), so your input would be really helpful.

Also, do you know if it will affect my fin. aid if i change to the 2 series? cuz i’m enrolled in 9 units right now, but if i change to 2 series, i’ll only be enrolled in 8 units.

Thank you for your help!
