MUST have courses:
Biology (with lab), Chemistry (with lab), Organic Chemistry (with lab), Calculus, Physics (with lab)
GOOD courses to have:
Microbiology, Genetics
GREAT courses to have:
Biochemistry, Anatomy, Physiology
I would also add to the list some sort of MCAT prep course: Princeton Review or Kaplan, for instance.
The resources these courses provide is invaluable. Some say they are a waste of money and that a person could do just as well alone (which very well may be true), but for me, it pushes me to study and work.
If you look at the MCAT as just a bunch of multiple choice questions, you're setting yourself up for a big dissapointment. I used to be really good at filling in bubbles...now they haunt me at night!
Best of luck to you!
