According to my LSA Bulletin for 09-10, Biology concentrations require math 115 & 116 (calc 1 and 2) and chemistry concentrations require math 115, 116, 215, and 216 (through calc 3 plus diff eq)

With a 5 on the BC I think you will be able to enter calc 3. You may need to take a special test at orientation since a 4 or 5 on BC usually only puts you in calc 2. I had to take this test, as did my friends, but some people on this forum say that they didn’t need to so it may depend on your advisor.

edit: If you want to do medical research you should consider joining a biomed project through UROP. It’s a good chance to see what research is like as a freshman.
