I tried doing a search on here but everything that came up was for MD. Is there a list anywhere on here?

I know RVU does, I am not sure about the rest, as I don't remember! You really will probably have to do the leg work yourself; it is only ~25 schools, you can do it...

+1 I don't know of a list that accepts Biochem over Organic II. Personally, I'd recommend making a list of those schools that you're interested in and then double checking prior to applying.

If you happen to apply to a school that requires Organic II, more than likely it will be one you can complete prior to matriculation. However, I cannot certify nor guarantee this so just check it out. 🙂

From the schools I applied to, DMU (actually requires biochem and not orgo 2), KCOM (and SOMA I think), CCOM (so I would assume AZCOM), and NSU (i think). Honestly, I e-mailed a bunch around my area and the only one who said no was Oklahoma State. I think Ohio might, but I can't remember.

KCUMB also requires biochem, but if you take it with lab at 4 credits or so, you will complete the number of chemistry credits they require, and not have to take ochem 2. but if you don't take the lab, you won't.

Haha, OP how did you not find this thread during your search? Even the title directly addresses your question.

Sorry, I had to... Carry on.

MSUCOM isn't mentioned in the link but the program requires 16 credits of chemistry--inorganic, organic and at least three credits of biochemistry. MSUCOM doesn't even require labs as part of the 16 credits.

My sources: email with admissions advisor, a classmate who has confirmed the same information, and the website: http://www.com.msu.edu/admissions/requirements.html.

The only way to make the credits work at MSUCOM is to take the Labs.
You need gen chem 1,2 + Orgo 1,2 + Biochem... If you don't take the labs (which you're usually required to in all but Biochem) you're credits short.

Aside from that, seeing as how both Orgo 2 and Biochem are pre reqs, I don't see how one can make up for the other.

This is my understanding also...
