Hey everyone! I have a question about classes and the premed dept at my college is basically nonexistant. (I'm a postbac student finishing up my sciences at a local community college to save some cash.) Plus I'd rather have all of your opinions!!!!
Ok here's my dilemma:
I have already taken some bio courses:
bio 109 Anatomy and Phys 1, 4 credits
bio 110 Anatomy and Phys 2, 4 credits
Now...I am trying to plan my schedule for the next two semesters so I can take the April MCAT's. As of now I have:
Phys 111, 4 credits
OChem 221, 5 credits
and...
My problem lies with Bio. I am also currently registered for Bio 124 Cell and Molecular Bio. I think this class would help me with the MCAT's from what people are saying but I'm worried that although I will have had 12 credits in biological science, adcoms will think I haven't fulfilled the "general bio" prereq. Do you recommend me dropping this and taking general? (I just HATE to register for "what is a cell..") I'm thinking I should though just to cover all the basics. I've consulted the AAMC book but every med school is different and when I contact them they tell me to ask my premed dept!! *urgh*
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
