I am an econ major.

These are the courses I left out:



Bio 281 General Ecology - Pre: 175 or 176 Rec: HS Algebra
Bio 309 Biogeography - Pre: Bio 101 or 175 or 176
Bio 357 Evolution - Pre: Bio 125 or 175 or 176
Bio 375 Bio of Microorganisms - Pre: Bio 270
Bio 381 Conservation Biology - Pre: Bio 270 & 281
Bio 443 Ecological Animal Physiology - Pre: Bio 125, 270

Bio 481 Advanced Ecology & Evolution - Pre: Bio 270, 281, 357

Not sure about evolution. I based my generalization on information in the pinned ‘Coursework’ thread by Bluedevilmike at the top of this sub forum. Looking at the date it was written, I can see the possibility that it may be out dated for the new MCAT. Maybe someone can update it for the new MCAT? :)

In an email I received this morning, Biology II (176) is being assigned to all freshman and was reassured that Biology I (175) isn’t needed before 176. Feeling more confident after learning all other freshmen are taking it with me. Also double checked on the Biochem course, the department chair recommends Cell & Mol (270) but it isn’t an enforced pre req.
I’ll go chat with a few of my upperclassmen friends who may know more about the classes in the biology department.
