What prereq's have some of you non traditionals taken?

I've got an engineering degree and as post-bac, I have managed to take 1 yr bio w/lab, 1 yr gc w/lab, 1 yr oc w/lab, 1 yr physics w/lab, biochem, physiology, and zoology. Is this enough?

Looking at some schools such as Loma Linda, they pretty much want bio majors, because they require a whole lot more.

From what I've seen, not many schools *require* much more than what you have. The more Bio you've taken, the better off you'll be however. I'd consider Micro, Immunology, Anatomy, Genetics, Cell. Those are just off the top of my head, and the list is by no means exhaustive or even required at most schools. Just suggestions.
 
I think what you've taken is enough. The only prereq some schools may require that you haven't listed is microbiology. I'm also an engineer with post-bac including 1 yr bio/lab, 1 yr gc/lab, 1 yr oc/lab, 1 yr anat/phys/lab and will be taking biochem. If you feel the need to take more, I would definitely lean towards upper level bio courses.

I took 5 uppers (micro, biochem, etc) + the 8 prereq.
you can always take some more during your wait for interviews and such.
