having almost completed all my pre-reqs I thought I'd look back on them all and create some kind of tiny little survey thread about the matter.

What are your votes for the
-most boring prereq (the one you had to absolutely force yourself to study for)
-most exciting prereq (the one that made studying less tedious)
--most useful
--least useful
--most time consuming

boring- stats tied with physics although stats was actually the more boring (even though i haven't finished physics yet) i think

exciting- microbiology, immunology

most useful -- biochemistry

least useful -- economics

most time consuming -- o chem (particularly the labs)

I agree with you a good bit. Microbiology was my favorite. My o chem lab was supposed to be 3 hours, but almost always took 4 or 5. Economics was pretty much a waste, but for me it was an easy A so I'll take it. Physics 2 was pretty cool I guess. I liked the circuits, lenses, and nuclear physics a good bit.
 
--most boring prereq- Macroeconomics freshman year!
--most exciting prereq- Human Physiology
--most useful- Physiology
--least useful- 3rd and final quarter of Physics (diffraction and stuff)
--most time consuming- multivar. calculus & microbiology lab
