I only have time to take one more biology class before my MCAT. I've taken Gen Bio I & II plus Genetics. Would you guys recommend Cell Biology or Microbiology in preparation for the MCAT?
As a third possibility, what about neither? Both cell bio and micro are on the MCAT to some extent, but an upper-level course will almost certainly go into more detail than you need. Based on your question, I wasn't sure if you need to take a class in terms of credits, timing, etc., or if it would be more of an optional thing. Depending on your situation and MCAT timeline, it could make sense to take the time that you'd spend on an upper-level bio class and allocate it towards MCAT prep more generally.

I have to take both classes eventually because of my degree track. It's just a matter of which one to take before the MCAT and which one to take after.
