I'm currently a freshman in college. I took AP Bio in high school (junior year), got a 5, and feel pretty confident with my knowledge.
Should I continue on to Biochemistry and Cell Biology, or should I retake Biology? I've heard mixed reviews from everyone I've asked about this...some say to take the easy credits, while others say to take my AP bio credit and be able to graduate a semester or two early.
Also, I took AP Calclulus BC (5). While I'm planning on taking a statistics course, my school recommends that I "continue my math education" by taking Differential Equations, Calc III or Linear Algebra. Do med schools really care? I'm not that interested in higher-level maths. I'm considering MD/PhD, which is why I was wondering if the extra math would be more important.
Thanks.
