I know D-schools don't ask u to take all upper level biology courses, but they do recommend you to take those courses.


Today, I want to ask a few questions regarding this issue.

As I don't know from which schools I will be accepted, it becomes more complicated for now. Anyway, I need to take Anatomy or English literature course for Indiana and Nova, respectively.

Hence I am planning to take those courses in addition to a few more courses I am interested in. There is no other option for me. Understand? :laugh:


Then, my questions are as follows. 🙂🙂

1.
Do u recommend to take anatomy courses before going to D-school?
Does it really help significantly? (Make a significant difference at D-school?)

--> Of course, I guess it will help cuz at least I become more familiar with those terminologies

--> However, I really want to know not taking this course ahead may add difficulties during the first two yrs at D-school


2. What other courses do u recommend to take before going to D-school?
(For only D-school learning and preparedeness purpose regardless of prerequisites issue!!)

What I took were

two Biochem, physio, microbio, cell bio, genetics, neuroscience, brain science, biomaterial, a lot of disease & nutrition courses, health care courses, women's disease course, behavioral science, evolution, etc.

I consider to take anatomy for sure.

What else can u recommend me to take based on my previous courses? (For appropriate preparedeness for D-school purpose only - Which means if I don't have to take it either for better performance at D-school or normal performance at D-school, I will not)

Can u say I don't need to take anatomy for this purpose? Will I not hurt during D-school without prior study in anatomy?


URGENT!! HELP!

Btw, I can list

1. Pathology
2. Sculpture
3. Public presentation
4. Anat (Presumably MUST)
5. Literature(Presumably MUST)
6. SUPER FAST Manual shifting before hitting redline :laugh:


What do you think ? (connection with D-school curriculum!)
