I just need some seconds thoughts on this. My post bac semester starts in one week. I'll be taking biology anatomy and physiology parts I & II organic chemistry I & II, and Physics I & II. I decided to take bio a&p because I noticed I missed questions repeatedly in this area while studying for the MCAT and while going over the syllabus for the course at my college, I feel it will help me with the content gaps I suffer from and reinforce some of the information I have from prior bio courses. Also it would fill the prerequisite slot for some of the schools I hope to be applying to.
I have chosen to take the classes at my 4 year college where I got my B.S. and M.S. If I take the courses at my junior college instead, could that possibly weaken my application? Money is difficult right now so if I can save, that's great and if not, well money comes and goes (bright side either way).
Prior to taking the post bac courses and finishing my M.S. I had gotten a 'B' in Cell Biology and a 'C' in General Chem II in my last semester of undergrad so I am aiming to let med schools know I can do the work and get better grades than what I left off with.
Also just to ask these questions early:
Should I take biochemistry my second semester or would Organic Chem II suffice for the MCAT? I notice some med schools want biochemistry separate from Organic Chem while others may allow one to satisfy the other in terms of prerequisites.
Is an April MCAT for the next cycle a good time (in case I needed to do a retake)?
Thank you all and have a good day/night!
