Now Unsure if my pre-reqs count...

I have taken 100% of my pre-reqs at community college. Due to my loan situation it was near impossible to take at a 4 year.

I have my RN and BSN. I took both the "nursing" version of class and classes that were beyond that. Now I wonder if some of them won't count. Here's what I took, marking ** on classes that were RN specific:


**BIO 1100 - Intro to Biochem, 3 credits
**BIO 2331 - Anatomy & Physiology I, 4 credits (lab)
**BIO 2341 - Anatomy & Physiology II, 4 credits (lab)
**BIO 2500 - Microbiology, 4 credits (lab)
BIO 1500 - General Biology I, 4 credits (lab)
BIO 1510 - General Biology II, 4 credits (lab)

CHEM 1010 - Intro to Gen Chem (required for higher level classes), 4 credits (lab)
CHEM 1300 - Gen Chem I, 4 credits (lab)
CHEM 1310 - Gen Chem II, 4 credits (lab)
CHEM 1020 - Intro to Organic Chem (required for higher level classes), 4 credits (lab)
CHEM 2300 - Organic Chem I, 4 credits (lab)
CHEM 2310 - Organic Chem II, 4 credits (lab)

PHYS 1210 - College Physics I (algebra), 4 credits (lab)
PHYS 1220 - College Physics II (algebra), 4 credits (lab)

Did I mess up and now I need to take higher level classes?

Nope. I think you're good on everything. I believe that Anatomy & Physiology counts as upper level biology. I am not sure of the Biochem class since it says "Intro" and some schools might want you to complete a lab for it.

Biochem is usually 4 credits without a lab so the one you took may not count.

Is 1 semester of Biochem a requirement? Somehow completely missed that. Other than that do these count?:

BIO 1500 - General Biology I, 4 credits (lab)
BIO 1510 - General Biology II, 4 credits (lab)
CHEM 1300 - Gen Chem I, 4 credits (lab)
CHEM 1310 - Gen Chem II, 4 credits (lab)

Despite the fact that they are 100 level?

I'm pretty sure its a hard set requirement for most schools especially since the MCAT is now heavy on Biochem but you can confirm with the MSAR for each individual school you're interested in. The others should be good.

1 semester of biochem is a requirement at some schools. Some schools don't require it or allow you to substitute it in for Organic Chemistry 2. Biochem will help you with the MCAT. Yes those classes count despite being 100 level. It's the course content that matters (and the name of the courses match what is needed).

Thank you!

Thankfully this is a quick fix - I can hop in this class at my local 4 year and pay out of pocket. It could have been much worse. I assume that I can still apply while in this class, right?

Yep you can apply while in the class as long as you complete it by the time you matriculate into med school.
