<p>If I take the following will they count for premed requirements:</p>

<p>Junior:</p>

<p>Intro to Organismal Biology
Calculus II
Organic Chemistry I</p>

<p>Senior:</p>

<p>Genetics
Organic Chemistry II
Introduction to Modern Physics?
Calculus III</p>

<p>I want to be a physics major at the school I am duel enrolling with, but I really want to enroll as a sophomore for my first year. I don't want to miss out on the credit for medical school for taking these courses. Will my biology, physics, genetics, and two semester of organic chemistry count?</p>

<p>Where would you be taking these courses? Med schools don’t like to see prereqs taken at CCs.</p>

<p>Also, I have heard that they don’t like premed courses taken while in high school.</p>

<p>If you want to make your life easier for undergrad, take “other” courses while in high school to fulfill General Ed requirements…like history, sociology, psychology, etc.</p>

<p>Georgia Tech, silly. CC’s don’t have these courses!
I got all of the general ed requirements as AP classes.</p>

<p>Pretty sure CC’s do have those classes lol. But I don’t see why med schools would have a problem with this</p>

<p>Not modern physics and a second class of o. chem normally.</p>

<p>You should take this question to the pre-med advisor at the university where you plan to be dual enrolled. You also should talk with someone in the admissions office there about early admission to college. If you are going to carry that kind of courseload, why on earth are you still in HS at all?</p>

<p>Wow, sorry, our ESP failed us. With an attitude/response like that I sure hope you’re never my doctor. Are you sure you wouldn’t do better in a different field? Doctors have to interact with all us “little people.”</p>

<p>What do you mean? I am kind of offended…
I am not 16 so no GED test. :(</p>

<p>You can go to college without taking a GED. Almost every college in the country admits students who they believe to be college-ready even though they haven’t graduated HS. Talk to the people at Ga Tech about their policy. They might admit you now.

<p>??? </p>

<p>You were the one who was offensive.</p>

<p>. Your question was about “pre med pre-reqs”. Those are 100 and 200 level courses…all offered at a CC. Since Orgo II is a 200 level course, it is also offered at a CC.</p>

<p>The pre-reqs for med school are…</p>

<p>Intro to Bio I
Intro to Bio II
Gen Chem I
Gen Chem II
OChem I
OChem II
Calculus I (and sometimes II)
Physics I (and sometimes II)</p>

<p>All of these are 100 and 200 level courses…all are offered at a CC.</p>

<p>*but I really want to enroll as a sophomore for my first year. *</p>

<p>You may be classified as a sophomore, but you’ll WANT to apply as an incoming freshmen…you get the best merit aid and financial aid that way.</p>
