Minimum Reqs

Alright, so I've been lurking on this forum for awhile now and just had a quick question. What's the minimum reqs? I've been going to various dschool's websites to see what they want, and it's pretty clear, but I just wanted a little verification.

1 year inorganic chem
1 year ochem
1 year bio
1 year physics
1 year english
usually calc

Then there's a lot of suggested classes such as genetics, cell bio, etc. My question is about the biology. Is general bio enough to fulfill that requirement? I am in bio 150 (general bio) and I'll be in 152 (the second semester of general) next semester. Will that count as my 8 credits right there? Or do I need an upper level bio class, say cell biology or something else with a lab? I know what is recommended and "should be done", but I'm having a time-problem fitting this all in. Also, what else should I be doing, like extra curricular, etc? I have shadowed a little bit, but not too much yet, I'm a sophomore. If it matters, I'm looking to get into Marquette, but obviously need to have others schools to apply to as well.

Thanks in advance

i DID BIO1, BIO2, BIO2L (LAB),BIOCHEM, MICROBIO, REGENERATIVE MEDICINE, PHYSIOLOGY, ETC.... YOU WANT TO TAKE THE BASIC CHEMISTRIES, BASIC ORGO, BASIC PHYSICS, BASIC BIO + A BUNCH OF UPPER LEVEL BIO CLASSES LIKE:

ANATOMY, HISTOLOGY, MICROBIO, PHYSIO,ETC. AND GET As IN THEM TO BE A COMPETITIVE APPLICANT. GOOD LUCK.

Yeah, I know in a perfect world I would take every bio class there is, but I'm kind of asking more of who has taken bare minimums (and what were they) and got accepted, etc. Also what was your GPA, DAT score, extra curric, etc. I was hoping by getting A's in all the reqs and not taking the suggested extras would be enough. This isn't cause I'm lazy, I have been going to school fall/winter/spring/summer (with loaded semesters), and again this year, and I don't want to have to do that all four years, but will if it's the only way to get in.
