Hi everyone!
I needed some advice on what pre-reqs are accepted by med schools. I am about to graduate with my biology degree and originally had planned to go to PA school, but had a change of heart recently and decided to pursue med school instead. Since I had not intended to apply to med school before, I skipped classes that were not required for me to graduate. I am taking a year off, though, so I have time to complete these by next year's cycle.
I have almost all the pre-reqs listed by most schools except ochem 2, biochemistry and another semester of physics. I have noticed that biochemistry is not required by all schools, though, so would you suggest I still take it even though I have learned the basic concepts from my other classes? I plan to take ochem 2 in the summer or fall and that leaves physics. I have taken 1 semester already which was physics 101. Are there specific physics classes required for pre-reqs or can we take any? For example, since I have taken physics 101, if I took physics 111, would this meet the requirement or do you suggest I take both 111 and 112?
Any tips/suggestions are welcome as I am still new to the med school process!
Thank you in advance!
