I have a friend of mine who took Gen Chem 1 and 2 and got A's back in 1993, and someone in the adcom told her to re-take them in order to do well on the admission test and since they are pre-reqs for OChem, she might need to review them. She and I took both classes together and she said she was very glad since she had forgotten almost all she learned 10 years ago. I would strongly suggest for you to talk to the schools you are interested and ask them for advice. Like Gavin said, I would put off taking Physics for now since it's not required on the DAT, even though for most schools it's a required course for matriculation. What's big in the DAT like Gavin said is Biology. So definitely plan on taking a course in Biology and do your research on what you need to do on your Gen Chem. You probably need to be moving fast, since most schools will be starting soon or have already started. Good luck!
