MCAT courses?

Question

Can anyone tell me where to find a list of courses necessary to have completed in order to be prepared for the MCAT exam if I am a University of California San Diego student? Thank you

Answer 1

In general, you need to have completed one year each (three quarters, since you're at UCSD) of introductory: physics, bio, general chem and o-chem.

Math is not on the test, but it is required for medical admissions. Most schools do not accept AP creds in lieu of pre-reqs.

You do NOT need to have completed upper-division coursework for the MCAT, although many say it helps. I don't think so -- I think it's more important to have taken a good reading & composition class, and maybe one or two philosophy classes to tackle the verbal and essay sections.
