AP Physics C: Mechanics (has to stay b/c its part of the course timeline)

Engineering Junior Research (plan to integrate medical sciences and make the research medical oriented)

I am planning to take the following classes senior year

hi! all in all, it seems like you're doing the main things you need to do, which is load up on AP science and math courses. for bs/md programs, you basically want to make sure you're taking the highest levels of those subjects offered at your school, so if there are any science courses that go beyond AP (e.g. a post-AP bio course) that your school offers, it would be a good idea to add that as well. if not, any electives with relevance to medicine (maybe like anatomy) could work well instead. but overall it seems like you're already putting yourself in a great position for these programs.
