<p>The courses you’ll need are:</p>
<p>1) 2 semesters of general chemistry for science majors with labs 2) 2 semesters of organic chemistry with lab</p>
<p>3) 1 semester of biochemistry</p>
<p>4) 2 semesters of general physics for science majors with labs (Physics can be an algebra-based course intended for bio & chem majors. It doesn’t need to be a calc-based physics for physics and engineering majors. But either is acceptable.)</p>
<p>5) 2 semesters of introductory level biology for science majors with labs</p>
<p>6) 2 semester of “college level” math, one of which should be statisitics</p>
<p>7) 2 semesters of “writing intensive” classes (a writing intensive course is college-specific designation. Some medical schools specifically require 2 semesters of English classes. You need to check what Midwestern requires.)</p>
<p>Note the common denominator of all of the above. You need to check that any course you enroll in is the course required for a science major (not allied health science majors, not nursing, not liberal arts majors). This is the most important thing. </p>
<p>Bio should be a general course that covers all the basic topics in biology, including genetics.</p>
<p>Even if your target school does not (yet) require biochem for admission, you will need biochem in order to take the MCAT. </p>
<p>Here is AMCAS preview guide to the 2015 MCAT. </p>

<p>A word of advice–while it’s great you’re aiming at a particular medical college, please understand the med school admission is incredibly competitive. Applying to only 1 med school is a recipe for being shut out. You will need to apply to a number of DO programs if you truly want to attend medical school. (A minimum of 12-15 is the usually suggested number. More if your application packet is lacking in any aspect, including ECs.)</p>
