<p>^^^ You may be right here and probably are if you saw it online. I’ve kind of “retired” from keeping up on things since I got my pre-med kiddo into college. I figure at this point, his med school advisers take over.</p>
<p>The bottom line I remember from the med school admissions folks (not undergrad admissions, but when they actually had med school admissions people giving talks to high school students & parents), is to not take ANY pre-req at a cc to not have any nicks on an application, so we worked our schedule accordingly. No Bio, Chem, OChem, Physics or Calc at a cc by my guy. Microbio was fine according to them, but it will count into his science GPA.</p>
<p>They also suggested not skipping Bio and Chem weeder courses via AP credits even if an undergrad school lets a pre-med major do so (most won’t). If you skip Calc, you’ll end up needing to take other, higher, math credits for med schools that require it.</p>
