Ok so I have a few questions. I just changed my 2nd major to biology and I have a question for which concentration I should choose and also. Which class should I take next semester.

Concentration Questions
1. Organismal Biology or 2. Laboratory Science

Class selection
1. Plant and Animal Physiology or 2. Microbiology
 
I would choose the concentration with more cell biology and genetics, and with the options to take courses like Physiology, Biochem, Cytology, Immunology, Anatomy, Neurology, and Embryology. Microbiology is great too, but is lower on my list of how helpful it is down the road (with virology).

I agree. Try to go the route that offers courses related to humans. It will definitely help on the MCAT as well as your first two years of medical school.
