Taking courses out of sequence

Med schools don’t care about sequence, but you’re right to be concerned about being placed in Bio 2, esp if you haven’t taken AP Bio.

Based on my Ds’ experiences, while there may not be much continuity (in terms of topics covered), Bio 2 does expect you to have a firm basic grasp of concepts from Bio 1.

You might be OK in Bio 2, but you also might find yourself scrambling to play “catch-up” and end up being permanently behind. Ask the prof teaching the course to put you on the waitlist for Bio 1.
