<p>hey,</p>
<p>I am a biomedical engineering major, which does not leave me with a lot of time to take extra courses outside my pre-med prereq's, especially since I am hoping to minor in Economics as well. I have to take an intro Bio class for my major, which according to the pre-med advisors at my school doesnt count for pre-med for some reason. Therefore, I was wondering which Bio classes are going to be the best for me to take, Genetics, Anatomy/Physiology or Biochemistry, from an admissions standpoint and which will help most with MCAT's. I heard from a med student that the Anatomy/Physiology helps the most when you're taking classes in med school, but I am still not sure? I would like to take all of them, but I just don't think it's going to happen?</p>
<p>Said med student is right on the money. Make sure whatever class you take has a lab. All three are good; genetics may help with MCAT somewhat.</p>
<p>I'd take genetics, biochem (2 semesters if in a designed course sequence, and you have the time), and physiology over anatomy if they're separate courses. Of course talk to upperclassmen and see if one course is generally considered vastly superior to the other - since they're electives you can afford to be picky. But in general I think I would have found phys more helpful. </p>
<p>Also, don't take anatomy second semester of senior year, then receive acceptances to your top two schools 4 weeks in...if you're at all like me, you'll just stop caring...which may make getting even a 73% to pass (and graduate) much more difficult.</p>
