First, Chemistry, Biology and Physics are basic sciences, here is the direct posting from Bastyr’s web site:

Chemistry (science-major level): at least 4 courses. Must include a minimum of 2 sequential courses in organic chemistry. (The standard prerequisite for science- major level organic chemistry is one year of general chemistry.) Appropriate lab work required.

* General Biology (science-major level): 2 semesters or 3 quarters. Must cover concepts in cellular biology and genetics. Appropriate lab work required. Individual courses in the biological sciences may count if the above competencies are met, i.e., zoology, microbiology, botany.

* Physics: at least 1 college-level course. Many institutions do not cover all required concepts in one course; required concepts include mechanics, optics, electricity and magnetism. Course may be algebra-based, and lab is not required.

Secondly, biochemistry, A & P, and botany are not required for admission into ANY allopathic medical school though, just as the case with Bastyr, Biochemistry is usually recommended. Please, do your homework.

Also, I am not an ND student.
