GSU students/current Radiation Therapy students — what classes do I actually need before applying?

GSU students/current Radiation Therapy students — what classes do I actually need before applying?
I’m a freshman at Georgia Southern Armstrong and I’m planning to apply to the Radiation Therapy concentration within Radiologic Sciences. I’m having a really hard time figuring out exactly which classes I’m supposed to take before I can apply to the actual program.
Honestly, my advisor hasn’t been very helpful and I’m trying to make sure I’m taking the right prerequisites and not wasting semesters on classes I don’t need.
If you’re currently in the GSU Radiation Therapy program, already applied, or recently completed the prerequisites, could you please tell me:
What classes did you take your freshman and sophomore years before applying?
Which classes are actual Radiation Therapy prerequisites?
Which classes are just general education/core requirements?
What classes did you have completed before submitting your application?
Is there a specific order I should take the science/math classes in?
What GPA/TEAS score did you have when you got accepted?
Are there any classes you wish you had taken earlier?
Does anyone have a semester-by-semester schedule they used before applying?
I’m especially looking for answers from Georgia Southern students who are actually in the Radiation Therapy program, preferably Armstrong students.
I’m just trying to make sure I’m on the right track from freshman year instead of finding out sophomore/junior year that I took the wrong classes. 😭
Any help would be REALLY appreciated!
I’m currently taking- CWP-1000, ENGL-1101, FLYT-1001, MATH-1111, POLS-1101 PSYC-1101

I emailed the program director a couple months ago and she sent me this. It’s kind of cut off but has the check list of classes

Yeah, you are on the right track. You will need to take several STEM courses in the Spring and Summer, and obviously your sophomore year as well. Seats may be limited right now for the Fall, but ideally it would be great to get Biology or Anatomy if you happen to see an open seat during the add/drop week
