I'm finishing up my application for this cycle, but here's the thing:
- I haven't taken a physics class. At all. It's all being taken this coming year before (in an ideal world) starting in 2015.
- I'm taking the MCAT in August.
I've seen some advice on here that I should submit my application in June so that everything gets evaluated by AMCAS, and then apply to other places once the MCAT score gets in. Thing is, I have no idea how long that could possibly be after taking the test (maybe October, and isn't that late?) I'm also concerned that I won't even get a chance to explain why I'm missing one of the pre-requisites (so should I put it in my personal statement?) Combine both of these with the sense that I'm getting old, and I'm worried that I'm out of my depth a bit here.
I don't want this to sound like a "woe is me" sort of thing, but I'm a bit lost at this point, and could use a compass.
