Members don't see this ad.

so im doing my post-baac/pre-req's i graduated a while back with a biz degree with a lousy gpa. so my new school im doing well they invited me to take a bio 102 honors class but it isnt designer for sci majors. apparently its the same meterial. i called aacomas and they gave me an iffy answer, as did 2 do schools i called.

should i take the honors class which will be marked on my transcript which could be a gamble or stick with the bio 2 for sci majors.

i have till the end of the week to decide as my semester starts this weekthe advisors at school are clueless also and said the honors is ok but what if its not accepted. by schools
aaaaaagh

Dont take the Honors Bio class if it is a non-science class. It probably will not count toward your Bio pre-req's........take the science major Bio classes to fulfill the pre-req's. Med schools typically wouldnt see an honors class as a huge boost to your application anyways, as many students take them. You should think about talking with your Pre-med advisor, if your school has one. He/she would be able to clarify things for you, and save you from NOT covering your bases as you prepare to apply. Good luck!👍
