Hello there,
I am in my final year and next quarter will be my final quarter of undergraduate education. My major is currently Molecular and Cell biology and I only have two more classes to take to complete the major. I was wondering which one out of the list would be useful for MCAT/Medical School ( Whether it be MD or DO)
What I have taken so far for my upper Division Bio classes:
-Animal Physiology w/lab
-Molecular and Cell Bio (Upper DIV)
-Hematology w/ Lab
-Immunology
-Genetics 1 and 2
-Biochemistry 1 and 2
-Biophysics
The option left for my last upper division elective:
-Cell Culture (4 units)
-Microbiology w/ lab (6 units)
-Biochemistry 3( this portion will talk about Nucleic Acids and there is no lab for it and also for me to get this on my elective chart I need department approval)
What I am thinking of doing:
-Molecular technique Lab (Mandatory/one of the two last classes)
-Cell Culturing
-Human anatomy and Physiology w/Lab (1 or 2, not sure which one I should go with though)
I am not sure if I should take Human Anatomy/Phio 1 or 2. This is the description for 1 and 2:
Human Anatomy and Phio 1:
An integrated approach to essential concepts of human physiology and anatomy. Analysis of skeletal, muscular, sensorimotor, cardiovascular and respiratory systems
Human Anatomy and Phio 2:
An integrated analysis of physiology and anatomy of the integumentary, autonomic and central nervous, endocrine, urinary and reproductive systems and of the blood and special senses. Coverage of histology, metabolism, and thermoregulation.
In my Animal Philology class we have gone over portions of the Topics of Human Anatomy 1 and 2 but idk if I should take it just in case. Also I am thinking of doing cell culturing, since I have experiencing in it,through undergraduate reserach, and want the A but I was wondering if it is better to take Micro over cell culturing?
Give your input and let me know what you think.
 
Woah, you posted this in.....pre-MD like two days ago too! Deja vu!!! Well, I'll say here what I said there, that if you wanted to take something fun, take something fun. IF you wanted to help yourself get a little more prepared before medical school, take an anatomy and physiology course as those topics (especially anatomy) are hit hard in your first year and a little practice before hand will really help you. Good luck.
