Is it worth taking Anatomy and Histology my last semester senior year?

Some say it should help with med school, but my schedule would be sooo nice without the sciences...:laugh:

Both will be worth taking since you will see both in your first year of med school.

my friend who's a first year says that biochemistry and anatomy and physiology are both realllly helpful classes. but he also said that i should think about not doing either and having fun before the insanity starts. :)

Biochemistry, Histology, Developmental/Embryology, Anatomy, and Physiology

are all the most helpful...not in any particular order though

Don't bother. If you want a relaxed semester, have one. You'll be studying anatomy and histology next year, so why start now? If you were a sophomore/junior, I might recommend them, but not now. Relax. Don't burn out before you even start.

Prowler's right. I took anatomy & physiology and pharmacology the year before I started school and really believe that the only classes I took during my undergrad that was worth anything was biochemistry and cell biology. Medical school classes are there to teach you medicine, so don't worry about trying to get a leg-up before matriculating.

I briefly considered using my last semester of undergrad to take useful science classes...then I released it's the last semester to relax that I will ever have.

I agree with DoctorFunk. I'm really glad I had biochem and cell bio, the other stuff hasn't mattered much. (Didn't take A&P, but can't imagine they would help enough to be worth the hassel).

This doesn't matter in your last term tho. Relax.

diversity your interests, i mean most of the undergraduate courses are pretty "unenlightening".
