What does a pre med curriculum consist of? Two years of a foreign language, right? Do they need that to get through the first year of medical school? And how many other non-essential courses are there?

Many people have already completed foreign language in High School including Latin, Also all higher maths. Good High Schools offer many advanced placement courses and candidates for medical school would very well have taken all of those courses which are challenging and needed. Internet Tech courses are needed too. I don't know of any fluffly courses on any pre med curriculum unless you consider physical education fluffy or diet and nutrition or business management inappropriate or useless. Only the best and brightest and most prepared students are admitted to medical school.
Where do you see students in premed taking art appreciation in college?
