btech Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Hey, I am applying to PA school in a little more than a year from now. I have most of the pre-requistes completed, other than micrio bio and anat/physiology 2, which i will be taking this Fall. I am applying to Sophie Davis CCNY and SUNY Downstate. The website has a list of pre-requistes and then a list of "recommended courses" which include organic chem, genetics, biochem, histology, embryology, pharmacology and pathophysiology. I wanted to ask which 2 of these courses would you recommend I take? Which would be most useful in PA school and which would look the best? Also, I got a W in both Chem 1 and chem 2, i retook both courses and ended up getting a B+ and an A. I know the W's don't lok great, so should I take Orgo jsut to prove to them that I can handle chem classes? It is not a requirement for my programs. Personally, I enjoy bio a lot more than chem. Thanks for the advice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC99 Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I think pathophysiology would look very good & be helpful. Also, pharmacology could be helpful if you study to memorize long term rather than short term. But I would just take what you think you will enjoy/do good in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC99 Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I also forgot to add you can call or email the school and ask which one would look the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bike mike Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 If I could go back to pre-PA school days I would take a pharm class. Trying to sort out the antibiotics is difficult for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
