<p>I have received the college credit in Biology. The medical schools require a year of biology (especially molecular and genetics) and lab experiences. Is it okay if I can skip General Biology that gives a very low percentage of A and take Human Physiology with lab that gives a very high percentage of A?</p>
<p>i dont think so</p>
<p>So, I have to take General Biology, no matter what? Even though it may hurt my GPA?</p>
<p>No,actually, I think that if you have the prereq to get into those other courses it is a good plan. The key need is that these courses must be lab courses. My bio lab courses were biodiversity and genetics.</p>
<p>Is Human Physiology Lab okay then?</p>
<p>Yes, very much so. I strongly endorse your current plan.</p>
<p>Physiology is crucial for medical school and the MCAT; even if it were "beyond" your prereqs, you should take it anyway.</p>
<p>Now, the only question remains as to whether or not to take intro bio first. If you feel confident in your AP Bio class/high school, and the intro bio class has a killer curve, there's no point to taking it.</p>
<p>You have the right idea.</p>
<p>At my college since I had a 5 on the AP I they would give me credit for both semesters of biology.</p>
<p>So, I looked at the course descriptions, and I was really interested in the first half of the year, but the second semester was more botany and ecology than anything else.....</p>
<p>So, I took the first semester of intro biology (because I was interested in the material and had seen it once already my grade was awesome even though the class was curved to a C+), and since I have to take a few upper level bio classes as part of my major I just have to choose an upper level with a lab. (I think might take microbio)</p>
