Guys, I have a question and still am in undergrad. I will be taking these 3 courses as I am doing a special minor in biology, so my question is as follows. Next (winter) quarter I will take a Psychology class ( My Undergrad major) and Human Anatomy with either Human Physio Or Micro. These classes are individual and each come with a lab. What do you guys think is more doable as in load amount to get As in these courses? Anatomy and Micro or Anatomy and Physio? For the spring quarter I will then take either physio or micro so you guys as med students, which option is best? Also, if you can share some study tips/techniques for these courses I will really appreciate it. Thanks in advance..

I don't know if either combo is going to lead to easy A's, unless you find you have a natural knack -- people have been known to struggle in each of those classes. But Anatomy and Physiology probably have the most overlap, and you will be getting more of a big picture if you do them both together. Lots of undergrad schools actually combine those courses into a single A&P class.
FWIW, there are better courses to take if you need A's.

Agreed. I'd also add that physiology is much more useful for the MCAT than micro.
RE: Study tips. For anatomy, I like to draw the structures & then without looking practice labeling all the required parts.

i have no idea what the classes at your school are like, so i don't know which combo's would be easier/harder.

phys is super useful for the mcat, though.
