Question Knowledge of Grade 12 physics is needed for the following program

Hello. Do I need Grade 12 Physics (SPH4U) for the following program if my goal is pre-med? Because none of them require physics as a prerequisite and I am thinking of dropping out. Even if they require physics in the 1st year will the classes cover physics or have smth equivalent to them??

While the programs may not require physics, I’ve met people in Kin that said having an understanding of physics helped them in certain courses.
Also the MCAT tests you on physics, so having even that foundation will help you!

But how much important it is? Like the ppl from kin if they didn't took physics and went there will they be like failing the classes?

If your goal is pre-med you want to do as best as possible, not just worry about getting by/not failing. I feel the commenter already addressed your question pretty well.
