Hi all,
I’m a 3rd year undergrad Neuroscience major who took IB courses in high school. More specifically, I took HL Bio and got a 4, which my university then used as credit for the introductory biology course (which did not have a lab).
My question is, if I took an upper level Biology course including a lab (like genetics) the winter before I apply, would schools that accept AP credits find it acceptable for prerequisites? I’m fairly stressed out about this considering I’ve taken multiple biology courses as part of my major and none of them have required a lab.
Thank you!
Edit: I have asked my pre-med advisors multiple times about pre-requisite courses and they have not commented on the IB credit being a disadvantage. Have sent them an email but they’re currently on break
Edit 2 (for clarity): I double checked my transcript and the class I did get IB credit for also had a lab component. However, only the class itself, not the lab (which is a separate section) is marked as "satisfied" on my transcript by the IB credit.
