Premed course notes important to keep for Med School?

To anyone in MD school,

Was it important to have handy any of your premed course notes or textbooks? I am looking to sell/dump them unless they will come to good use in school. The most obvious to sell/dump would be physics and calculus and I would guess I should keep biochemistry and anatomy. Did organic or gen chem or biology (or any other course) come into use in med school as far as reviewing the basics etc.???

Thanks!

Trash it all. Med school is a different level - those textbooks won't be useful for classes.

If you really wanted to keep something I could see you keeping Calculus or Physics for future reference since those won't be covered again. But I can usually find what I need online.

Trash everything unless you have a solid Anatomy book already (Netters, Gray's etc..) and/or a solid Physiology book (Guyton, Costanzo etc..)

everything you probably did in your undergrad is too specific and in depth or not enough depth and breadth. Usually the latter.

Unless you took a course in Immunology or Human Anatomy (with a medical emphasis) all of the biology notes you have from your undergrad are completely useless

Bonfire material. Even med school stuff is bonfire material post Step 1.

I'll be the lone dissenter so far and say keep the biochem. My undergrad biochem course was way more challenging (and relevant to Step 1) than my med school biochem. I wished I had kept my course notes for that one. Everything else, I agree, is trash.
