Out of these four classes...

Which of these classes would prepare me for the MCAT?

Neurobiology
Microbiology
Immunology

Based on the number of questions regarding each? Also, is it true to skip human anatomy and take human physiology to prepare for mcat?

Is statistics an important class to take for the MCAT?

Thanks

There are zero questions on anatomy. The questions about the body mainly involve physiology.

No statistics either.

Personally, I would either pick neuro for the endocrine system and learning the hormones or I would pick micro to learn more about bacteria and maybe become more comfortable reading some experiment passages.

definitely micro

I'd say micro

None. Just self-study. If anything, microbio may make content review a bit easier

I'd say neuro or immuno. Micro on the MCAT is relatively easy to learn on your own so you don't really need a class to get the material down. Honestly though, this is splitting hairs. You'll learn the MCAT material from the review book. Just take what you like most.

Did anyone else notice the discrepancies between the thread title and the content of the OP? I feel like three, five, or six all would have been more logical #s than four, based on what was said in the post.

I could be misremembering, but I don't recall a single neuroscience question on the MCAT. I recommend going with microbio and immuno.

 

[ClemsonFirst]

Stats is not important. I've never had a stats class and did just fine. Take micro or immuno, but if you get Exam Krackers or any of the other books, that is probably the best way to get the information. I would say that physiology is the most important class you listed because it will have the broadest information and should be most relevant. Choose whichever one you want to take so you keep your GPA up.

This. Undergrad classes go into way too much detail that's most likely not going to be covered on your test. Fulfill the pre-reqs at schools you're targeting, and self-study for the MCAT.

 

[Lollygag]

None of them. Use that time to study for the MCAT that you ordinarily would spend studying. And if you have to take one of them because it's a requirement thing, then take the one you will most likely get an A in. Unless you have a huge interest in one of the classes over the other, none of them will significantly help more than the other on the MCAT.

 

[survivordo]

If you don't need it to fulfil a pre-req or a requirement in your major I would skip it all together. You are better off with a review book. If you do need it than I would pick immuno, pretty relevant to the MCAT and the first two years of med school.

None. I killed the MCAT (40) and I never took any of those classes. The bio that's actually necessary is surprisingly basic. Biochem is the only useful class outside of intro bio. I could see a logic or philosophy class being useful to teach you how to think. I did take such classes, but I don't really know whether they affected my score or not.

Can someone expalin to me the difference between micro and cell biology

micro covers bacteria, viruses, and single-cell eukaryotes, cell bio covers eukaryotic cell structure and functions

 

[callcar]

It would be apart of my degree. I HAVE to take two of these....
