<p>Hey all,</p>

<p>I'm in a bit of a dilema. I'm faced with the decision of whether to take a Functional Human Anatmoy Lab course (3cr) or a General Genetics course (3cr). I would love to take Anatomy and I plan on taking it before I graduate, but the problem is that you have to dedicate A LOT of time to class. The professor is very good and he teaches it like any professional program would teach it, so he expects a lot out of his students.</p>

<p>These are the two possible set-ups.
Organic Chemistry I (4cr)
Calculus I (5cr)
Physics 101 (4cr)
Functional Human Anatomy (3cr)</p>

<p>or</p>

<p>Organic Chemistry I (4cr)

Physics 101 (4cr)
General Genetics (3cr)</p>

<p>The earlies I would be able to take the anatomy course would be spring of my Junior year, because I plan on taking a more difficult Physics series. What do you think? Should I take anatomy now? Will this Functional Human Anatomy course serve any use on the MCAT (I know the breakdown of the sections)? Will it hurt me in any way if I were to wait and take it possibly after I apply to med school? Will med schools care? Thanks guys.</p>

<p>I would think that Anatomy is more useful than Genetics in preparing for the MCAT.</p>

<p>I was also told not to take too many genetics classes to prepare for med school. (Generally, they're easier but the material is not as pertinent)</p>

<p>Either way, I would pick what you're interested in. The material you learn in Anatomy would probably be covered in two days at med school!</p>

<p>Take the genetics course. The info in genetics, to my knowledge, is more fundamental for the MCAT.</p>
