Hey everyone! I have a couple general questions about prereqs that hopefully you all can help me with.....since many of you have already applied. I took general bio and chem as a freshman and didn't do well in them. Then changed my major and graduated with good grades. Post bac I took some higher level bios and chems at a local community college (ie Anatomy, Physiology, Cell and molecular bio, Microbio, Biochem etc.) Now I'm wondering if these 'upper level' courses will count for the '2 semesters general bio and 2 semesters general chem.' I would think they'd accept more advanced courses for general ones, but I don't know. Does anyone have experience with this?
Also I heard that many med schools look down upon taking science courses at community colleges. How true is this? I mean I took them there for location and price..not that they are easier.
Any responses from your experiences would be appreciated!
