<p>Anyone know if Biochem majors take these classes sometime in their major?</p>
<li>Molecular Bio</li>
<li>Micro Bio</li>
<li>Anatomy</li>
<li>Physiology</li>
</ol>
<p>The reason i am asking is i need those classes and don’t know if Biochem or bio is better for me.</p>
<p>i believe that biochem major only needs to take molecular bio, but if you want to go to med school, you'll need to take all those classes...tat's just to my knowledge...btw..wut's ur gpa...i'm a biochem major wit 3.7...applying to LA and berkeley..u?</p>
<p>ccct, i am just starting, second semester only. Have also 3.7. Just taking my second semester of chem and first semester of bio.</p>
<p>My problem is which major is more compatible to my needs to meet requirements for pharm school. Bio or biochem?</p>
<p>please do not pay any attention to ccct. he/she doesn't what what he/she si talking about. </p>
<p>Medical schools do not require any of those classes for admissions into a medical school. </p>
<p>That's false information</p>
<p>um..I believe that rather than asking people here why not call the colleges you want to go to?</p>
<p>fei, have u tried calling colleges, it takes hours. I tried doing research on my own by going on college websites to find info about each major, but still wondering if others have expirience with that major.</p>
<p>highschoolda how about talking to counselors or reps who visit your schools?</p>
<p>Fei, i tried that a bit. Most have no clue about anything regarding science. lol. kinda sad. </p>
<p>Best choice was to going website and looking up curiculum of each major. Most say Bio is a better choice b/c biochem might include molecular bio, but not anatomy and physiology.</p>
<p>again let me repeat. You do not need those classes to gain admissions to medical school. Why do you think there are nonscience majors at med school.</p>
<p>All you need is the basic mcat classes:
one year of bio, gen chem, orgo, and physics. that's all.</p>
<p>and at some calculus, but not at all so you'll need to check up on that</p>
<p>yeah. Only the really top schools require calculus. Like harvard hst, etc.</p>
<p>hnbui, let me repeat myself again as well, i am trying to get into pharm school not Med school. Those are the requirements for pharm school.</p>
<p>are you getting your pharmD?</p>
<p>oh sorry highschoolda...</p>
<p>I got you confused with ccct. </p>
<p>In that case you should major in biology. But still if i were you i would major in biochemistry. Since you're into pharm, majoring in biochemistry will complete the link between biological concept and orgo, which will really help you understand pharm.</p>
<p>it's up to you.</p>
<p>oh no prob hnbui, thank for ur advice. There are several bio majors that do quite a bit of biochem, i'll guess i'll worry about picking the right one when i get there hopefully w. the help of some science advisors</p>
