I completed my undergrad 10 years ago with a B.S. in Electrical Engineering. Finished with a 3.96 GPA. I have decided that I want to pursue medical school, and I have a couple of decisions to make and would like some input. I was able to find a little information on my first question through the search function, but wanted to get some more recent opinions to make sure the answer was the same. As for pre-reqs, I still have to take 8 hours of biology, 4 more hours of gen chem, and 8 hours of ochem. Do you guys think that it will negatively affect my competitiveness if I take the biology and gen chem classes at a local community college? This would obviously be my preferred method because it would be much cheaper and I could take them in the evening after work. I'm planning on doing the ochem at a university.
My next question relates to specific classes....so, the requirements for the medical schools I'm looking at only state that they require 8 hours of biology. So, should I just take Biology 1 & 2 or should I take different biology classes like Anatomy & Human physiology or something similar? Any input and help would be appreciated! Thanks!
