I am sure this is going to be a obvious answer so please no smart ***** remarks. In the general requirements for medical schools such as 8 credits of Biology. My major is Cellular Molecular Biology which means I started out taking Bio molecular Sciences such as Genetics and so on. Are courses like these considered as the requirements for the medical schools. Or do I need to go back and do the simple Bio courses? Thank you all and enjoy your day.

As far as I know, upper level courses satisfy medical school requirements, so you should be fine if you have 8 credits of something like "Genetics" and "Cell Biology". I was in the position where I AP'ed out of general biology and used my upper level biology courses to satisfy the pre-reqs at schools that did not accept AP credit - haven't had a problem so far. 🙂

You're fine. Upper level courses can substitute for intro level courses
