Cell Biology

[Homo sapien]

Hi. I have a question. I am a pre-podiatry student who, this summer, has the opportunity to take both physiology and cell biology. What I would like to know is, would cell biology be helpful for the MCAT?

The MCAT has a stronger emphasis on molecular and cell biology than physiology in its current form. Cell biology will be more helpful, especially if the professor takes an experimental elucidation approach to teaching.

What makes you say this? More of the testable content is physiology than cell bio.

Gen bio 1&2 is ALL you need. When I was studying the mcat I was always in doubt b/c people made it seem like you needed upper division classes in order to do well on the BS section. In fact taking these courses can sometimes backfire since I've noticed that some of my friends would get a relatively easy question wrong due to the fact that they would over think it due to their extensive bio background.

Not every school has a Bio I and II sequence.
