Aside from Gen Chem, Gen Bio & OChem, any upper division classes that might be helpful for the DATS? Is Ochem2 on there?

Well, the organic chemistry you have taken should cover the full range of topics on the test. I don't know how your college divide up orgo, but i know most colleges have organic chemistry taught in two semesters with maybe a separate lab course if it is not offered with the core organic class. You do not need more advanced classes than what is required in the premed/predent curriculum. Get the kaplan review book and look through it to see whether you have learned all the topics covered.

Definitely would have taken Anatomy & Physiology or Human Gross Anatomy had I known to. I thought I would have scored better on the Biology section if I had taken one of these classes.

I agree with the General. Take physiology if you can. Anatomy isn't a bad idea either, but you can score well without it. Also, if possible, take a zoology course. There are a handful of zoology questions on the exam.

Take physiology. I wouldn't worry about anatomy. An animal diversity/zoology class would be good too. And of course, Algebra!!
