I just finished my sophomore yr and I am going to graduate in 3 years since I was accepted into the 7 yr Medical Scholars Program at U Miami, which allows me to start med school in 2007. In this program, I don't need a minimum MCAT score and need to maintain at least a 3.4 overall and 3.2 science, but I still want to do better than that. Can anyone please let me know what courses they would reccomend before starting med school? At this point, I have only taken the pre-med requisites as sciences. Should I take Cell Molec, Biochem, Physiology, etc?

Really appreciate the input

Definitely more ochem...you'll be using that ALL the time as a doctor! 😉

a good class on medical terminology is frequently quoted as the best thing you can do for a headstart. also, undergrad histology is supposedly very similar to the med school variety.

embryol, neuro, more biochem and anatomy/physiol wouldn't hurt either.
