i did the same as you. i had IB credit and opted out of those waste of time intro classes. take upper bio levels instead because most med schools will not accept IB/AP credit unless you take an upper science in that field.

you should definitely take physiology and/or genetics as your upper bios. those are most useful for the mcat. advanced cell classes don’t really help much because you only need to know basic cell bio from the intros.

so for the classes you listed, take that “evolution, ecology, behavior” one and human physiology. an entire class on ecology isn’t needed but a lil bit of ecology through a general class is helpful.
