I've been posting alot lately...finals must be coming up (procrastinator) But I was wondering what you guys thought was the least important pre req...if there is such thing. I ask because I'm not killing it in Physics (gunning for a solid B at this point) but prepared for something worse...whats some of your guys take on the matter?
 
if i had to chose, it would be physics. BUT, its a numbers game, and physics effects your gpa, so regardless, any science course is very important because it influences your sgpa.
 
thats kind of what I was thinking...it's probably the obvious choice as it doesn't have AS MUCH to do with health care as the other science courses. in a perfect world they'll just banish it from the pre reqs by the time i apply!
 
I say Gen Chem 1. It is the easiest of the pre-reqs IMO so it shows the least about your academic abilities.

Posting alot? You joined a year ago with 50 posts.... I joined 2 years ago with 5000 posts :laugh:

No but seriously, Physics is very important. Anything short of an A is almost guaranteed rejection(s).



NO SERIOUSLY, B (or little lower) is fine.... what matters the MOST is your overall and science GPA, keep those above 3.5 and your golden

You sir are on another level...only problem with me getting a little below a B...i'm a non traditional app who has to do ALL of his pre reqs (post bacc)...already done Chem I and II ( B / B+)Bio I and II (B+ / A-) in Ochem I (expecting a B / B+) and in Phys (B to C?) and Anatomy (A or A-)...but my previous GPA...a jaw dropping 2.8 in a completely unrelated field. D Works...you seem to know your stuff...you have any words of wisdom...or am i a lost cause (partially joking)?

If you are trying to guess which pre-rep is the least important, you should look at what GPA is the most important when you apply to DS.

BCP > sGPA > oGPA

So Bio, Chem, Physic are very important. All other science classes are next in line.

But what is the point of knowing the unimportant pre-reps?
To me, they are all important.
 
the point is i'm no bueno in physics right now...just looking for a silver lining. i'm a hopeful guy.
