Hey guys! I am a Canadian looking to apply to some US med schools next cycle. Currently, I am choosing my third year courses and I wanted to make sure I pick all the courses that fill the requirements. On my university transcript, I have 6 English credits (two semesters) as transfer credits that I got from taking IB English HL in high school. There is no grade associated with it but it just says 'T' for transfer credits. I was wondering if this would fill the requirement for full year English that is required by many of the US med schools?

Also, another question I have is, for the schools that require a full year of math, do they want a full year of calculus or would a semester of intro calc and a semester of stats work? In Canada, not many med schools have any course requirements so I am a bit confused with all the requirements for the US schools. Thanks for all the help.
