Planning to apply DO in a couple years.

Took Biology + Lab for non science majors 20+ years ago.

Should I retake the science major version for admission purposes?

Alternatively, can I just take an upper level Bio class to replace it?

I know some schools screen for age of Biology courses.

What would be the best course of action?

Retake. You'll need it for MCAT
