u/Due-Individual1454

I'm an incoming freshman here on the premed track and have the credit for Calc 1, but not Calc 2 due to my AP Exam score. I was wondering if I should take a calculus course during my freshman year despite it not being a premed requirement, or if I should just move straight to stats? Would medical schools prefer two semesters of calc, or would they know I don't have a calc 2 credit if I don't take the course? Additionally, VCU's Early Assurance Program through W&M requires two sems of calc, so would it be worth taking the Calc 112 or 132 just for a chance at this specific program?

I'm an incoming freshman planning on majoring in bio/public health on a premed track. I have dual enrollment credits through Richard Bland College of W&M from a few classes that I took in high school, including AP Chem which granted me both sems of Gen Chem credits. However, I just learnt that the grades I received in a few of these sems will negatively impact my GPA come med school application time (amcas requires you report all college courses/grades), and was wondering if I should redo gen chem my first year to pull up my GPA as the grades will be averaged out or if I should just jump straight to Orgo? What would med schools prefer? I've also heard that there's a semester-long course of advanced chem that I could take in prep for orgo - would this be a viable option?
