Taking online biochemistry course

[waywin22]

I am lacking the biochemistry pre-req for some of the schools. I was wondering if taking an online biochemistry will be accepted? There is only three universities that offer biochem here in my state and they are all filled unfortunately.

I know DMU and KCUMB accept online biochem from UNE. I'm just finishing up the class and it wasn't too bad

Do you know how much it cost? Do you think it is possible doing it overseas as well?

I think it was $1225. I don't see why not, you just need to have a computer with mic/cam for taking the 2 proctored tests

Is biochemistry required? I thought most schools considered it to be "recommended"

It's required for DMU, KCUMB, and UNE (I think)

Got an A in biochemistry because of that. Although I got a B in the lab, but I think that is because the teacher expected perfection in our lab reports. She required they be like published journal articles.

Well, just be advised that you would be spending 1500 dollars to take a course that is only required for 4-5 schools. If you don't plan on going to those schools, then you might be able to spend that money elsewhere during the application process. Also, courses are only required prior to matriculation...you may not have to take it this semester

The new MCAT includes Biochemistry so it doesn't matter anymore if schools require it.

Also for what it's worth, every student that I've talked to that has entered med school without biochemistry has desperately wished they had taken it. I liked the UNE course because it is specifically medical biochemistry, so you focus on more med school relevant information.

Wait, an online biochem class? I thought that course always had a laboratory component. Is that not required?

Some classes have labs, some don't (my ug didn't offer one) but the usual requirement for med schools is 3 credits
