Hey all! So I already graduated uni a couple years ago. I was a molecular bio major so the pre reqs I have done at the four year are:

2 semesters of bio w/lab
orgo 1 and 2
gen chem 1 and 2
psych and soc
3 credit hours of advanced composition

at a cc I took
physics 1 and 2
calc 1

from ap credit I have
10 credit hours of english


So basically what I am missing in order to apply this may is

human anatomy and physiology 1 and 2
micobio
maybe 3 credit hours of english if they don't accept my ap credit

I want to apply this summer so I am trying to figure out the best way to go about this and get it done as quickly as possible so next year I want to work full time and save some money. Already because of physics some schools are out of the question that accept no cc's. Money is an issue so I've looked into a local cheap 4 year as well as my local cc and basically I have limited options.

Anatomy and physiology 1 I have no choice but to take at a local because both lump it in as "anatomy and physiology 1/2" sequences, the 4 year only starts with 2 in the spring and 1 is a prerequisite.

Microbio I could take at the 4 year or cc.

English I have no idea what to do...I feel like its kind of annoying I have to spend all this money on an intro English course when I already have advanced composition down and 10 credit hours of ap English credit, but to be safe I should probably take it because a lot of schools wont accept ap credit.

I am worried about going over the cc credit limit so I was thinking maybe take anat and physio 1 at cc because I have no choice and microbio, and some English class at the 4 year. Then this summer i'll take 2 at the cc as well. Does this sound good? Also does anyone have any recommendations for an English class that would be interesting and challenging for me that will still satisfy the requirements? I was thinking maybe creative writing but idk if that counts. Am I missing any other requirements? Should I take some sculpting or business courses if I can?
 
You can/should probably knock out both English and Micro during the summer (may impact how you do your supplements). After that, Anatomy in the fall and Physiology in the spring (leave your schedule open for interviews). Taking all of these classes at CC would save you the most money and beef up your GPA at the same time.

You think I would be okay taking them at a cc? I really am short on money its a huge issue and if the schools won't mind too much i'd rather do that. I was just worried that it would look bad and I would go over the CC limit for most schools.

I mean, schools would probably prefer it if you took the pre-reqs at a 4 year university, but since many student matriculate with CC credits it should be fine. Of course, it depends on the school and if they have a CC credit limit, but I could care less about those schools (I eliminated a number of potential dental schools because I went to CC, but I thought my stats were solid enough for those schools to matter).
