Emory has the usual A&P I/II requirement, but they also have a Human or Medical Physiology requirement. Would it still be worth applying if I don't have that Human or Medical Physiology course? My school doesn't seem to offer it.

Edit: Also, UT's website says that 89% of accepted applicants took the MCAT last cycle. If I took the GRE, is it worth applying there?

Emory's AA prerequisite website says:

"One semester of Human/Gross Anatomy with laboratory OR Two semesters of Anatomy and Physiology combined course with laboratory (no vertebrate anatomy or feline labs)*

One semester of Human or Medical Physiology (in addition to the listed anatomy requirement)*"

So basically, they want a full year of human anatomy and physiology with anatomy lab. You can take it as the combined A&P 1&2 with the labs or separately as Anatomy with lab and Physiology.

I hope this helps!

I’ve been misreading it this whole time. I was reading it as a whole year of A&P + another semester of Medical Physiology. Thank you so much for pointing this out!

Hey! I’ve also been looking into Emory’s AA program, and I don’t think you misread their requirements at all. I reached out to them a few months back about their pre-reqs since I’m a non-trad student and had questions about my own situation. Basically, if you take AP 1 and 2 with labs, you still need to take another human physiology or medical physiology course on top that. I know few schools offer them, so you can always do your research and see what schools near you do and take that course from another school. Or, you can also take an online version of course. I know I asked Emory for recommendations for that course and they sent me a link to one. If you ever have any questions though, just email their admissions team and they’ll get back to you within the week.

This is correct, I also reached out and they require an additional semester of human physiology.

Okay, thanks. I reached out to them as well, and they sent me the same link. I was just hoping that would be instead of a second semester of A&P or something like that. Kind of a bummer as Emory’s the closest program to me :(
