My situation is a bit strange. In Fall 2016, I will be in a BA/MD program with provisional acceptance to its medical school as long as I keep 3.7 + GPA and an MCAT score higher than the average scores of the school's acceptances (i don't know what that average would be . . .).
I don't want to overload myself with work, and the medical school in question only requires:
= 2 semesters of each of these: Gen Chem, O Chem, Physics, & English
= 1 semester of each: General Biology/Zoology with lab, & __?__ (Genetics, Cellular Bio, OR Molecular Biology)
= total 3 semesters of any combo of these: Sociology, Philosophy, & Psychology
Biochemistry is not required, but 1 semester is recommended. I'm considering not taking Biochem.
I want to ensure 4.0 GPA by taking a lighter load, which will give me more time to study for MCAT.
Should I take Genetics, Cell. Bio, or Molecular bio to best prepare for MCAT? And can I prepare well for the biochemistry sections on MCAT relying only on prep books? Lastly, should I take a physiology course at my school?
A million thanks for reading and, if you don't mind, please help this super confused newcomer!
