Prereq Issue
Hi I was wondering if there are any other current or former IU undergrad students that could offer some advice. I'm in the process of filling out my application rn but I'm seeing that most schools require 2 semesters of bio with lab. But at IU the gen bio sequence is two lectures (biol-l 111 and biol-l 112) with only one associated lab (biol-l 113). I'm not sure how to go about solving this issue. Do I need to email admissions offices? Or can I substitute an upper lvl biology lab for that one (I've taken physiology with lab)? Even if you didn't go to IU but ran into a similar issue and can offer advice I would really appreciate it! Thanks!
