I'm finally starting my master's tomorrow. As you know it's in marketing, however I'll also be completing my premed studies. Due to a loophole I can add on some graduate science courses later on and have them count as part of the degree. As yall also know, I have a huge hole to dig myself out of. What do yall think of these courses? Would it help convince an adcom that I can do science? These classes are about all I can do since I'm not in a science program. These classes are all I can afford to do, and it will lengthen my master's to about 2.5 years. I have to take at least four of these course to meet degree requirements.

5301. Advanced Genetics (3:3:0). Prerequisite: 8 hours of biology, 8 hours of chemistry, one semester of organic chemistry, or consent of instructor. Genetic and molecular analyses of inheritance. Course is offered to graduate students with limited knowledge in genetics.
5302. Advanced Cell Biology (3:3:0). Prerequisite: 8 hours of biology, 8 hours of chemistry, plus at least one semester of organic chemistry; or consent of instructor. Structure and function of cells with introduction to modern techniques for cell study. Course is offered to graduate students with no formal training in cell biology.
5330. Biochemistry I (3:3:0). Prerequisite: Consent of instructor. Properties of biological compounds. Chemical processes in living systems. For advanced study by graduate students with majors outside the department. Not appropriate for graduate students in the department.
5331. Biochemistry II (3:3:0).Prerequisite: Consent of instructor. Properties of biological compounds. Chemical processes in living systems. For advanced study by graduate students with majors outside the department. Not appropriate for graduate students in the department.
5334. Principles of Biochemistry (3:3:0). Prerequisite: Consent of instructor. . A one-semester course geared towards graduate students in animal sciences, food technology, plant and soil sciences, biotechnology and biology. Not appropriate for graduate students in the department.
5301. Advanced General Microbiology (3:2:3). Prerequisite: CHEM 3305 and 3306 or
equivalent. Content is similar to that of MBIO 3401 except that readings or original research in one area of microbiology is required. May not be taken for credit by students who have taken MBIO 3401. F, S.
 
All sound good. Bs or As in them will get you where you wanna go. That, and a good MCAT. Good luck!

Mmm... those are some nice sounding courses. I wish I could take some of them. Principles of biochemistry sounds neat. I only took Biochemistry I at my university.
