Are Bio Labs the only ones that are necessary?

<p>Or do I have to take all of them for Physics, Chem, and OChem? Right now, all I have under my belt is one semester of lab from Chem and I'm currently taking Ochem's lab.</p>

<p>The majority of medical schools specifically state that you must have a year of physics, general chemistry, organic chemistry and biology all with lab. Thus this is your safest bet.</p>

<p>There may be a few schools which don't specify the need for laboratory courses at all, but probably not enough for a student to assume that they'll have a good chance at acceptance if they apply to only those schools.</p>

<p>Examples:</p>

<p>UCSF

<p>Nebraska

<p>Harvard
<a href="http://hms.harvard.edu/admissions/default.asp?page=requirements%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://hms.harvard.edu/admissions/default.asp?page=requirements&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Baylor
<a href="http://www.bcm.edu/admissions/?PMID=2323%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.bcm.edu/admissions/?PMID=2323&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>If you go through these sites, you'll notice that all have slightly different requirements. You're best bet, and the strategy that EVERYONE should follow to maximize your chances of getting in somewhere, is to have that year of lab work in all subjects. That way there is no question on whether you meet the requirements or not.</p>

<p>If your lab class is part of your lecture class meaning it does not show up on your transcript, is there a place you can note that the class incl. a lab or is that assumed?</p>

<p>Nope, it's something separate, I just wanted to make sure that I wasn't taking any classes that I didn't need to take.</p>

<p>I think Lockz was asking a separate question.</p>

<p>Yes, there's a place to note if your lab was included in the lecture course.</p>
