I had a previous thread that was answered pretty well on here. But I wanted to ask this question in a new one. I plan on doing my own post bac on top of retaking a few pre reqs this upcoming semester, so my question is: Regarding Post Bac Work Would admissions committee prefer to see a upper level LIfe Science Class such Clinical Biochemistry Or a standard upper level bio class such Evolutionary Biology or would it even matter( both are 3 credits) ?

I'm sure clinical biochemistry will look better and help you more in medical school, but getting an A is the most important thing. Evolution sounds easier, but it may be a hard course, you never know.
 
As much as I love Evolutionary Bio as a subject, I'd be more impressed with a Clinical Biochem course.

I'm guessing you'll want something geared towards your future career, although an A is definitely top dog regardless.

This reminds me, I took a class called "Community Biology" thinking it'd be about healthcare in small communities.

The whole class was about animal life patterns. It was actually pretty awesome: Fun fact: California Condors won't reproduce if they see humans in the vicinity. So to breed them in captivity, wildlife workers have to dress up in condor camo.
