Pre-Reqs: Community College vs. Online (ex. UNE)

[__AVI8R__]

I need biology 1 and 2, organic chemistry 1 and 2, and biochemistry. Cost considerations aside and assuming in-person at a 4-year were not feasible, is a CC or online course (ex. UNE) given greater preference? Further, I'm only considering primarily DO schools and NY MDs.

I have all A and A- in chemistry, physics, and math* from a 4-year.

*Yes, I know math isn't factored in AACOMAS sGPA (BCP). The exception to the above statement is a single F in upper level math my freshman year in college.

I thought math courses count in the sGPA as BCPM? I'm looking to take Bio 1 & 2 at Dallas Community Colleges Online. It's accredited and much cheaper than UNE Online. Last time I looked they also offer Orgo 1 online too.

Yes, math counts in BCPM or the AMCAS sGPA (MD app) but not from the BCP or AACOMAS sGPA (DO app). For AACOMAS, math is counted as non-science much to my relief. The F is haunting my GPA. Hope AACOM doesn't change that...

But how will you complete the labs?

Correction to my initial post, "I know math isn't factored in AACOMAS GPA" should be "I know math isn't factored in AACOMAS sGPA (BCP)"

I think most people would say that CC is preferred because it's in person.

Update: I didn't fully read your post sorry. The labs are completed at home with a lab kit (just like UNE), but I think there are also sections wear you do the lab through a virtual lab app on your computer and then answer questions about the lab for your lab grade.

Possibly. I'd like more feedback though.

Oh and Static Shock was a great show.

Also, check if the online courses would show up as online on the transcript. I know UNE's don't show that they're online, but if the course name and number is looked up it'll be shown.


Yes its a good show and my favorite superhero cartoon. I've been waiting for a live action TV series to come out on it for years.
