if you want to take math in the future, then 1A03 (ideally 1X03). If you only care about calculus as a tool in biology / medicine etc. then 1LS3/1LT3. |

I really dont think you should consider it "more biologically related to medicine". The only thing that was somewhat applied to a real life example was doubling time and bacteria, which shouldn't exactly be a new concept. Other than that, it was just simple math with not a great deal of application to anything and definitely not to medicine or biology.

Unless you're applying to American schools, you don't directly need math for med school. Physics is only required for..2? (something like that) medical schools in Canada. Orgo is similar..only 2 or 3 schools require it. Same deal with English. Take them if you enjoy them, otherwise what's the point in being miserable for some potential future? Of course...if you're looking at American schools, it's a whole nother ball game.

There's also the MCAT to consider. I doubt anyone can self-teach Orgo and/or physics well enough to kill that monster. |

I know quite a few people who have. And I intend on doing it 
No way in hell am I taking orgo or physics or math ahahaha
Edit:
I realized that sounded sort of c*nty..I only meant that I "intend on doing it" because I know orgo etc doesn't interest me and thus I have no desire to take them. Hence why I have to just self learn it come mcat time. Not trying to say I will do well though ahaha

The whole med school thing is really starting to bore me
I mean guys come on just do your best and do things you're interested in
If you're good enough you'll get in, if you aren't and aren't absolutely hell-bent on it, then look at your other options, WHO KNOWS - MAYBE YOU'LL FIND SOMETHING THAT IS MORE DELIGHTFUL THAN PRESCRIBING ANALGESICS AND WALKING AROUND IN WHITE ROOMS WITH YOUR OVERBEARING SENSE OF ENTITLEMENT ALL DAY ON 3 HOURS OF NON-REM SLEEP
