Suggested classes to take during undergrad?

mskillz92 · Sep 10, 2012

Hi guys, I'm a pre-med major and right now I'm working on my 60 credits for undergrad so I can get an AA (associates) and transfer out to a state university where I will continue with my pre-med requisites. I was wondering what are some recommended classes that I should take now that I have more freedom to choose? Preferably something that will help me out in the future or look good in my transcripts, doesn't necessarily have to be the pre-requirements or requirements that I am forced to take. These are the classes that I have to take during these 2 years as my pre-reqs right now:

Pre-Calc, calc 1, calc 2, bio 1 & 2, inorganic chem 1 & 2, organic chem 1&2, along with labs and many, many others that I'm sure you guys have heard.

Thanks 🙂

This question has been posed many times before.

Recommended courses often include physiology, biochemistry, and genetics, in that approximate order.

You forgot Physics I/II. Also, you don't need two semesters of Calculus (unless your major requires it). Instead, take Statistics, as it's actually required by many medical schools.

Then, what looks 'good' to adcoms is great grades and a focused academic commitment to a subject that you're passionate about (doesn't need to be science).

Additional courses to take are Biochemistry, Genetics, Physiology, & Psychology. Biochemistry is becoming a prereq at many schools, so it should be top priority after the basics. Good luck!

Pre-med courses, Animal/Human Physiology, Biochemistry, Genetics, and whatever else pokes your interest (Japanese Culture from pre-history to the Meiji Era, for me).

That sounds terrible. Glad someone out there enjoys that
