Make sure you take biochem before you go to med school

[Poit]

It helps a lot. It would suck having to learn all this crap from scratch along with rest of the workload. It also seems very similar to undergrad biochem, just with more detail.

Make sure you take it before the mcat

What is the consensus on self-learning basic anatomy/physiology throughout the year before med school? (not the summer before)

College is your last chance to really devote yourself to any non-medical subject!
Don't waste it on something we will happily over-teach in due course.

Seconded. You're probably toast if you don't.

If it wasn't part of your UG coursework I wouldn't worry too much about it

Biochem (even just introduction to) is quite helpful. Anatomy would not be.

Make sure you realize it is required or recommended by the majority of medical schools at this point

$250,000?

Who knew people on SDN were so loaded

$250,000?

Well, this is student doctor network. $250k for prestige is chump change.

As someone who just had to learn biochem for the first time I agree with the OP. Biochem wasn't offered when I went to undergrad unless you were a graduate student.

Junior/senior year I took classes on dinosaurs, earthquakes, volcanoes, and the history of my school's athletic program. Life was good.

Take whatever classes you want to take in whatever major you want. There are Spanish, Economics, and other non-science majors among my classmates who are doing very well.
