A lot of schools have strange undergraduate prerequisite hierarchies!
In my school before we could even touch any upper-biology classes we have to have taken all of our organic chemistry and physics classes. So essentially no one touches upper-biology until they hit their junior year. And even then, a lot of other classes require some sort of biochemistry as well as molecular and genetics as basic prereqs.
Such as reading above someone saying they took their comparative anatomy in their sophomore year. I just had this look 😱 Most people take that course at my school as a junior/senior and still manage to fail.
