<p>Hi everyone,</p>
<p>I was wondering anyone know if there are any course equivalent to BILD 1,2,3 in regards to satisfying the biology requirement for med school, pharm school, etc.</p>
<p>Most upper divs usually satisfy the requirements. If the school requires upper div bio, however, you have to take additional bio courses on top of that. To be sure I would email individual schools. I remember some schools prefer vertebrate zoology, physiology, genetics etc and some schools don’t take biochem courses as biology.</p>

<p>Most medical schools allow you to retake any upper division biology courses to replace the 1 year biology requirement.</p>
<p>Please keep in mind that there are some schools which are actually strict enough to want you to have a year of general biology, in which case you’ll have to take the BILD series. These schools are in the vast minority, so you generally shouldn’t worry about them.</p>
<p>Okay, thank you guys. Great advice. I am just slightly worried because I am taking some upper division course in the biology department, but of course they are more specialized than what I learned in AP biology in that AP biology is really broad. For example, I don’t think I will take a course on evolution anymore, but I don’t know of medical school would want to know I have a working knowledge of it ( which I do as evident by my AP score, but I heard medical schools don’t care about your AP scores even if you got a five).</p>
