<p>This can also apply to those who are still pre-med's who are still completing an undergraduate degree.</p>
<p>What core classes did you take during your frosh - junior years?</p>
<p>Frosh year regular chem plus calc. Sophomore year organic chem and bio. Junior year Physics and bio elective. Senior year electives and internships.</p>
<p>Gen Chem, Intro Bio, Calc, 1 semester of English freshman year.
Organic chem and physics, another semester of English sophomore year.
I’ll be taking Stats next year (junior year), and biochem as well.</p>
<p>A lot of pre meds are bio, chem or other sciences major which would make the breakdown in line with their department. The schedule I have is for any major.</p>
<p>I was biology major, so I started taking bio courses my first semester and took at least one per semester all four years. I took one gen. chem, orgo I, and an English freshman year (along with, of course two biology courses). I took orgo II, the second gen chem., my first calc. course and Physics I sophomore year (again, along with two biology courses). I took my second calc. course and my second physics course junior year, and I took my second English course senior year.</p>
<p>Semester:
1.) Calc III, GenChem Acclerated
2.) Bio I, English
3.) Genetics/Cell Bio, Organic
4.) Physiology, Organic, English
5.) Physics
6.) Physics
7.) Biochem
8.) Microbiology</p>
<p>wow, any psych majors here? How did u do it?</p>
<p>Semesters:
1.) Intro Bio, GenChem Acclerated, GenChem Lab
2.) Organic I, Organic lab
3.) Organic II, Physic I, Physics I lab
4.) Cell Bio, Physics II, Physics II lab</p>
<p>Junior (plan):
5.) Biochem I, Organic II lab, Calculus III
6.) Biochem II, Biochem Lab</p>
<p>For some reasons, lab is a separate course, not combined with the lecture, at my school.</p>
<p>Semesters:
- Intro bio, gen chem honors, multivariable calc
- Intro bio, gen chem honors, linear algebra/differential eq.
- Organic chem, organic chem lab, evolutionary bio, physics
- Organic chem, physics, biochem</p>
<p>MCAT after sophomore year.</p>
<p>Semester
1: gen chem w/ lab, intro bio w/ lab
2. gen chem w/ lab, genetics, calc 2
3. ochem w/ lab, phys w/ lab
4. o chem w/ lab, phys w/ lab, bio stats</p>
<p>First semester-
Calc 2, Intro Biology I (w/ lab), General Chemistry I (w/ lab)</p>
<p>Second semester-

<p>Fifth semester-
Biochemistry, other misc. courses in biology (Microbiology, etc).</p>
<p>MCAT = January '08 (middle of my junior year)</p>
<p>Look at the requirements for med school. If your major and college does not require any of those courses, they are in addition to those.</p>
<p>castleinthesky, it seems you only have statistics but not calculus. Is it a concern for some Medical Schools? Does your college or medical school allow you to use AP Calculus? Nowadays, almost every college student seems to have the AP Calculus acceleration credit (Calculus BC for most of them).</p>
<p>I ask this question because I myself have not taken calculus course in college. Most bio majors at my college think the calculus is “useless” for most bio courses. (Some of them even think physics is not that useful and they should take physics classes that are as easy as possible.) Therefore, if I go the bio route, I hesitate to retake calculus that I have taken in high school (if I can get away with that without any harm).</p>
<p>peabody - I had AP Calc (AB) credit coming into college, so I only took Calc 2 (AB credit & calc 2 = fulfills the full year calc requirement at virtually ALL medical schools; I only took stats because it had the reputation of being super-easy). My advisers mentioned that of all the classes pre-meds can <em>AP-out-of</em>, medical schools are most lenient about calc.</p>
<p>castleinthesky, Sorry. I did lot read your post carefully before I post my question. When I try to retract my post, it is already too late - you are quick.</p>
<p>I did not plan my course selections as carefully as you did. Maybe I was overly concerned about my BCPM GPA in the past two years (I did get grades close to yours though), and therefore I did not take more courses as I should.</p>
<p>Thanks for your reply.</p>
<p>1 chem and calc
2 chem, calculus 2, and bio
orgo 1 summer
3 orgo 2, bio2, and physics
4 physics</p>
<ol>
<li>Intro Bio, Gen Chem, English</li>
<li>Intro Bio, Gen Chem, Stat</li>
<li>Cell & Molec, Organic, Physics</li>
<li>Ecology & Evo, Organic, Physics, English</li>
</ol>
<p>Next year I’ll be taking two semesters of Biochem and Calc III.</p>
<p>Bumping this because I would like to know more about this from more people :P</p>
<p>Freshman: 2 semesters Organic Chem w/Lab, 1 semester Calculus
Sophomore: 2 semesters Physics w/Lab
Junior: 1 semester Biology w/Lab
Senior: 1 semester Biochem</p>
<p>Here’s my S’s list as I know it.
Freshman year - Chem II, Orgo I and II, Bio I and II with labs, Stats, Physics I, and Freshman seminar (Writing course his school requires), and other electives in Psychology and Logic
(Chem I and II were waived due to AP but he took Chem II anyway, Calc is waived as well due to AP. Bio AP was not waived for BS/MD’ers with Bio major)
2nd year Fall - plans to take Physics II, Vertebrate Anatomy, other electives
2nd year Spring - Biochem, prob Endocrinology, Genetics, Microbio and other electives.</p>
<p>I think he plans to take his MCAT at the end of next Summer. Not sure about other courses.</p>
