I always love the diehards.......'attack your weakness head on', 'fix your attitude regarding math'. You will enter medical school and basically never need math again. SOME physics concepts are needed to understand physiology, but these can easily be learned without the need for a physics class......obviously you have to take physics for a pre-req, but it's a joke. I took physics and promptly dumped all the info when I finished the class. I literally never studied physics for the MCAT.....I took the hit, but still did the best on physical science section......definitely not from getting physics questions correct though. All I'm saying is that you literally only need physics for the MCAT. If I could take the MCAT again, I'd forgo physics again and learn it again in med school like I'm doing now.

Orgo is important for the MCAT for sure, but not for medical school. Some of the concepts are used in school, but you'll never need to learn a synthesis problem ever again. Orgo happened to be one of my favorite subjects so I did great on that in the MCAT. Biochem is huge in med school though, so that's the subject you'll want to know the most of.Do you think orgo is important, or is it just as unimportant as physics? Thanks
