those are the pre-reqs....also take the labs that come with them

Other courses that will help you are:
Genetics, Physiology, Molecular Biology, Biochemistry and Immunology

Cell biology is a good one as it covers cell structure, DNA, transcription, translation, metabolism etc.

what about plant biology or any specific chem classes besides orgo?

 

[Medikit]

I strongly suggest Genetics and Vert. Physiology, and to a lesser extent Biochemistry.

Biochem, Genetics, and Human Anatomy/Physiology are not required, but they would put you at a significant advantage...

Plant bio will not help, there are no plants on the MCAT. You have to know physics. It's about 1/6 of the test.

There's no math except for that used in physics and chemistry
