I always read in the requirements sections, very clearly stated, "2 semester of general biology". Therefore, this post its funny to me because I thought it was soooo common sense to know that you need general bio.
That's the whole point of his post. You can substitute A&P because many schools require
2 semesters of biology, meaning they must be courses taught by the biology department.
The same goes for physics, it must be taught by the physics department. They don't care if you took physics 1, or calculus based physics. As long as it isn't astronomy.
The same goes for statistics, which must be taught by the mathematics department, not the business dept.
Then you start getting into the weeds with Biochemistry. Some schools require it. Some schools don't, but will take it in lieu of Organic II. Others schools also consider it based on what department teaches it (biology vs. chemistry).
It would be the bio 1 for science major. Or ask your advisor.
But A&P is far away from being General Biology. Not even 5% of that is cover in the DAT. So, ...
You're right, less than 5% of A&P is on the ENTIRE DAT. But it does make up a significant portion of the Bio section. I don't know about your exam, but mine was majority A&P, with the rest being ecology, plants, and phylogeny.
Also, taking the class is not a requirement to take the DAT.
All tooth is saying is that every school has different requirements, and A&P does not fulfill the biology requirement at every school; he is correct. You are implying that Biology I & II/General Biology is a requirement for EVERY school, which is not correct.
Give the guy a break.
