Regarding Application Specific School Prerequisites

Question 1: At the end of the application for each school, the application asks you to "Assign Course" which of your courses correlate with their prerequisite. I am a little confused with the credit hours and which to assign. For example for UOP in the Biological Sciences with Laboratory" Section, it asks me: "Minimum 4 semester courses (16 semester credits) or 6 quarter courses (30 quarter credits). One course in Anatomy is recommended." My school was a quarter system. With the whole Freshman Biological Sciences series being 13 Units and my Anatomy being 5 units. The quarter courses nor the credits match up? Am I adding it wrong?

Question 2: If they ask for Biological Science courses pre requisites, do they want me to list all my bio class or just the ones they specifically ask for?

Question 3: When they ask for Biological Sciences with lab, but my labs are integrated with my biological science classes so they're listed as one course, would the school know that it was included?


Thank you everyone!

I think the 4 semester/6 quarter thing means that you have to have taken at least 4 semesters of biology courses (and at least 4 labs) with of course two of them being gen bio with lab. So as an example, you could say you had 2 semesters of gen bio + lab, 1 semester of anatomy + lab, and one semester of histology + lab. That would be 16 credits, or whatever the equivalent is in quarter units. Someone might have to confirm this but I think that’s what it is from what I remember.

Just list the courses they ask for. If it’s biochem just list biochem, nothing more or less.

If I listed every course that could have been used to fulfill the prerequisite (but I make sure I don't "double dip", for example with biochem), is that not good?

For example, if I used AP credit to fulfill a requirement, would it be fine to also select some upper level courses in that subject area to show how I do in that subject in an actual college course?
