Retaking courses and Labs

[gorillaz2332]

I am planning on retaking some of my pre reqs (Chemistry, Biology, Anatomy and Physiology, etc. ). If I took Anatmoy and Physiology II that was both lecture and lab and I retake it via an online course at a community college is this ok? Obviously the online course DOES NOT have a lab. Is there any way to combine the two since I already took an A&P lab? I understand that it will be specific to a school but I was wondering if anybody has had to deal with anything like this.

It completely depends on the school. I retook both bio and chem online. The schools were able to count my lab that I already took previously. So it wasn't a big deal that I didn't retake the lab. Def make sure your lab is current enough (usually 10
Years). Another thing I did was in the case of physics, I did an online course and then projected the lab out for the spring semester (in person) after applications. That way I had some flexibility and wasn't going to take it if I didn't need to (I ended up getting interviews from 2 schools who didn't need that retake so I just didn't enroll).

What schools did you look at that counted the lab you took previously?
