General chem in med school?

Yes, unfortunately, it is important. If you think that physics or general chem are not important for medical school, you'd be wrong. I know that all pre-med students (I was definitely one of them) love to complain that the medical school pre requisites don't matter and are a waste of your time. But, I am currently sitting in physio II, nearly dying of boredom, as the professor takes the entire class to go over buffers. Turns out, this stuff is very important in your body. So, if you're still in college, pay attention! As for physics, just wait until you get to membrane conductance and the cardiovascular system. Orgo? The entire biochem class was based around it. I wouldn't say that any of it is absolutely necessary, but it is relevant and helpful if you've had it.
