<p>it is interesting the different requirements
D school for example requires a year of Ochem, for a plain bio degree, some other schools do the same, but some schools only require Ochem if a biochem major.
Some schools have fairly rigorous lab science requirements, other schools have psychology majors, which is generally not grouped with lab sciences, counting with their students in the "science" dept.
While my kids both have specific interests in biology, I have learned from CC, that it is more advantageous to specialize in gradual school, not for example get an astrobiology degree as undergrad.</p>
