Chem 2E03 antirequisite of Chem 2OA3?
It says that Chem 2E03 is an antirequisite of Chem 2OA3. Does that mean I can never take Chem 2OA3? Because it's required for med school, and the only reason I was taking Chem 2E03 was so I can take a biochem course.

I think you can take both, but once you complete the credit for 2OA3, the credit for the 2E03 is taken away. So basically you did 2 courses but only got 3 credits out of it. Ive heard from friends that 2E03 and 2OA3 use the same textbook and even the same chapters for the most part.
2E03 is basically 2OA3, without a lab component.

You can take both, but you only get 3 credits for your degree instead of 6.

No, as people have said, you forfeit the credit entirely--it doesn't matter which one is the better mark. |

Is it possible to have taken 2OA3 and then take 2E03 or 2OC3 to drop the 2OA3 mark?

Don't think it works that way

If oa3 is taken, does that mean my chem 2e03 marks won't count toward my gpa? |

Yes. It will be as if you never took 2E03. |

Wait a minute, so if you take a course that is anti-req of something, you forfeit the credit of the earlier one? Serious?
Hypothetical scenario:
So let's say I have a D in some random course, and then I take the anti-req for it and get an A. Is the D erased from my transcript?
How is this allowed?
You could totally use this method if you did bad in a random course. WOW.

Not necessarily. For most anti-reqs, you aren't allowed to take both courses. Chem 2E03/2OA3 is a special case, and it is noted in the course calendar. I'm not sure if there are other cases like it, but it's the only one I know of. |

Just note that although "2E03 is 2OA3 without a lab component" they aren't close in terms of difficulty.
I have friends in 2E03 who are doing extremely well but they're average chemistry students - meaning if they were in 2OA3 their marks would be average (60s - and that's actually pretty high compared to most years).
