Should I take all the pre-reqs or can I move on to upper lvl bio?

Completed my undergrad in Management in 2008 along with 2 semesters of Gen Chem, 2 semester of Physics, and 1 semester of Bio. But, NO labs for any of these.
In addition to these, I understand that I should complete Orgo 1 & 2 with lab, Biochem, and some upper level bio.

In the past year I have taken
Gen Chem 1 w/lab
Orgo 1 w/lab
Gen Bio w/lab
Physics 1 w/lab

Do I need to take Gen Chem 2 w/lab and Physics 2 w/lab because I have not previously taken them with lab? I am wondering if it would be more worthwhile for me skip these courses and use that time/money towards other things, e.g. upper level bio classes.

wait, how did they let you take orgo 1 with gen chem 2? usually it is a sequence? hmmmmm

NOrmally schools require 1 full year of gen chem (1+2), full year of general biology, full year of physics, at least org 1 with lab. Some schools allow substitution of org 2 with biochemistry, some require both.

Best idea - look up at the requirements of the schools that are your top choices, and go from that.
