Hey everyone, I wanted to get some opinions on a course I am taking replacing another.
School A: I took a botany course at my previous institution, and got a D- (4 credit hours, includes lab)
Course catalog description:
A survey of the plant kingdom with emphasis on phylogeny, development, physiology, and reproduction. Plant ecology and systematics will be included.
School B: I am currently at my new school and I am taking a biology 2 course- with an emphasis on botany. I am on track to get an A/A+ (5 credit hours, lab included)
Course catalog description:
One year of high school chemistry or one semester of college chemistry. Fundamental principles of biology for students considering a biology major or students with high school science background. Principles of evolution, systematics, diversity and ecology, and plant biology.
Will I need verification that these two courses were similar? What type of documentation would I need? We have covered the same if not more in my current course.
I know MD schools average and DO schools replace, I was hoping to get an adcom members feedback on the matter. @Goro, @Catalystik
(I have previously posted about this, and have been told by a few people I should repeat since it is a D in a science course. However if this course I am currently in could count, it would save me a lot of money.)
Thanks
