Considering med school help!

<p>Here is my situation. I am attending Community college with a overall gpa of 3.73 for a total of 36 credits my freshman year. Going to take summer classes this year. </p>

<p>My main concern is will medical schools care where I took the prerequisites from because I am taking them at a CC next year? I'm considering in majoring in biology</p>

<p>ANy suggestions on what I should do is greatly appreciated</p>

<p>Thnks.</p>

<p>As a Bio major, you will be taking plenty of upper division bio/science classes at the four-year Uni. Just make sure that you continue to earn mostly A’s and you should be fine.</p>

<p>And while it’s fine to take gen chem at your CC, save OChem for your 4 year college.</p>

<p>thnks for replies.</p>

<p>So should i do my physics, general chem, and calculus, biology courses at my CC? and save organic chemistry for UC when I transfer?</p>

<p>Also this might seem like a dumb question but what is considered upper division classes??</p>

<p>Upper division courses are any class above the introductory level. Gen chem is an introductory level class; Ochem is an upper level class.</p>

<p>You can do your calc, physics, gen chem and intro bio at your CC, then transfer and take OChem and any biology courses required for your degree.</p>

<p>IMO, saving organic for the four-year Uni is not necessary as long as one takes several upper division science classes at the Uni. For some majors, organic is a prereq to required courses. Thus, waiting until Junior year to take it means that one will be behind major completion which could result in a 5-year plan at a public Uni when courses might be harder to enroll into. (My D is not even a ‘science’ major per se, yet she has several courses that she wants to take that all have Organic as a prereq.)</p>
