What pre-req. should you absolutely have before taking the OAT? Is is necessary to have them all when you take it?

Alleigh,
I had a "phone appointment" with an adivisor at berkeley and she specifically told me that the pre-req GPA is more important than the overall GPA, so with that said I would say the general courses are going to hold more weight than the upper division, unless they give you the benefit of the doubt and like for instance will take your best 2 biology grades to be calculated in your pre-req as opposed to your general biology courses-I'm not sure what exactly they use for your pre-req GPA.
Also, an ICO admissions advisor told me to them that it's not just about your overall GPA, they look at trends and consistency. So if your grades were generally better in your later years than your earlier years, as you're saying, that's a plus!
