Your first semester should be Math16A and Chem1A, no question.

Also, English courses need to go on that list of your pre-med requirements. Most schools require one or two terms of English (not necessarily in the English dept, but must be reading- and writing-intensive. Literature and composition).

After that it’s kinda up to you. However, it is highly recommended that you not double Bio1A with either Chem3 courses - I took Bio1A and Chem3B together and it was the worst term ever. Bio1B is easy; Physics is generally pretty easy. The real killers on the pre-med reqs list is organic chem and Bio1A. Maybe physics, depending on professor.
