Being an engineering major i couldnt take many bio courses.
So far i have taken:
BIO I - A
BIO II - A
Genetics - A-
PNB I - B- ( is required for Biomed)
Biochem - Fall 2008
Cell Biology - Spring 2009
I have As in all the other pre-reqs.
So when i will submit my application this summer, it will show only 4 courses in bio with one bad grade in PNB. And that was because i was helping my parents moving to a new house and also had to commute to college for a month, so i did really bad in it. I couldnt even drop it at that time because my plan of study was full with classes. And then my other Bio courses would fit only in my senior year.
How badly will this affect to my application?
 
Looks fine to me. You'll be excluded from applying to the few schools that require anatomy/physiology, but other than that you're solid. DAT looks good, too. No worries.
 
when was a "B" ever bad?
Hahaha...well i know its not but when the number of bio courses are less and then one of them with a comparatively lower grade might raise some brows.
Thanks for you input guys...
 
Since your AA/TS is so good, I don't think you'll have any problems. You can still apply to the schools with more extensive prereq lists (anatomy, micro, etc) too, they'll just require you to complete those courses before you matriculate.
