<p>Hi, I hope no one minds if I revived this thread? I will also be starting at Berkeley next year as a premed, so I also have several questions on the topic.</p>
<p>The first one is the same as thundercat’s: Is Chem 1A significantly easier in the spring?</p>
<p>Also, would taking Math 1B + a statistics class (not sure which one yet, suggestions welcome!) satisfy most if not all medical school requirements? I took Calculus BC this year and did well, so I don’t want to take Math 1A and Math 1B. </p>
<p>Third, which classes should we definitely have taken before we take the MCAT? I noticed in a lot of the sample 4-year plans that MCB students saved Physics 8B until fall junior year, but isn’t there a physics section on the MCAT? But if I do try to finish Physics 8A and 8B before junior year, I would have a semester in which I take bio, chem, and physics, something I hear is a terrible idea.</p>
<p>Thanks in advance for your help!</p>
