Hi guys, I had a question concerning the biochem questions of the MCAT,
Theoretically if the only class I couldn’t take before the MCAT was biochem due to scheduling conflicts then how bad would it hurt me? The way my cycle is planned, I will only be up to Orgo-2.. the thing is, there is a class called structural biochem, which I can take along side o-chem2, but it’s not the same as the biochemistry 1 class which requires both o-chem 1, and 2... is this class worth taking? Can I altogether substitute regular biochem for structural biochem as my one semester of biochem or will it not aid me at all for MCAT preparation?
The issue is, biochem will be the only class I won’t have taken, I really wouldn’t want to wait another entire year to apply just because I couldn’t take biochem.. unless it’s really necessary. I’m pretty good on self teaching science, but I’m not going to give myself too ugh credit since topics like biochem seem pretty recourse intensive.
Anyway, what are thoughts on this? Should I play it safe and just wait to take the MCAT if I haven’t taken a traditional biochem course?
