Yes, or a similar alternative. Most medical schools, including AUC, require a generous exposure to mathematics and/or general physics. At AUC, substitutions and/or exceptions for med school prerequisites are made on a case-by-case basis at the discretion of the admissions committee and the chair of the admissions committee.

No. Undergraduate students can major in whatever they like, but they must take the necessary courses that fulfill prerequisite requirements. Medical schools need to determine a student’s ability to succeed in the biological and physical sciences courses.
