Don't take either course at a CC if you can avoid it, especially orgo. Many med schools will not accept orgo/phys from a CC or if they do, they look down on it because it looks like you took the easy way out.

I'm not too worried about that. I'm taking this course while still in highschool. My goal is to get accepted into one of those BS/MD programs so this should improve my chances.

Well if the BS/MD programs you are interested in allow credits from CCs, then it shouldn't matter since once you're in a BS/MD program, you're in. I don't know about any specifically though, so I would contact them directly if I were you.

I would take the non-calculus based physics. It satisfies the physics pre-req, and if you need to repeat at a 4-year university for demonstration of comprehension university level (a lot of med schools like this), you can just take the calculus based one at uni.

I second the non-calculus based physics. You'll need to brush up on your trigonometry skills.
