Am i suppose to apply a year in advance like medical or dental school or is it the spring semester before you will transfer?
Ok so I will be transferring to a 4 year university in the fall with a junior standing. So would I apply next august 2017? Also my course load isn't that heavy will that matter when i apply? like 1- 2 science classes per semester.
example Semester
Fall 2016
Ochem - 5
intro to research - 4
kinesiology - 3
Can i be admitted even if i haven't taken the MCAT but i plan to take it?
What kind of MCAT is the average POD student getting?
my cGPA is 3.89
my sGPA is 3.0
Classes taken for prerequistes
Chem 1A - A
Chem 1B - B
Bio 1 -A
Bio 2 -B
physics 1 - B
physics 2 - B
Ochem 1 - will do fall 2016
Ochem 2 - will do spring 2017
You'll be fine. It's okay if your course load is spread out. If you are looking to enter class in the Fall of 2018, then you would apply in August 2017 like you said. I took my MCAT and submitted my application in September, received my scores and sent them in early October, received multiple interviews within the week, and was accepted to a couple of schools at the end of October. It's a relatively quick process if you apply and interview early. Aim for as high as you can on the MCAT and keep your grades up. Looks like you are doing pretty well so far, but certainly put in the extra effort to try for A's in your science classes.Ok so I will be transferring to a 4 year university in the fall with a junior standing.

Weirdy
I switched because I did a sim course and shadowed a few dentists and i really wasn't interested. Shadowed a podiatrist and really enjoyed it
I've seen quite a few here on these forums do thathas anyone changed from predent to pre-podiatry?
@SLCpod @Sweatshirt do you know which users on this thread? I would like to ask them some question.I've seen quite a few here on these forums do that
I was predental during my undergrad before I decided to switch. If you want to PM me, I'll answer any questions you have as best as I can.@SLCpod @Sweatshirt do you know which users on this thread? I would like to ask them some question.
I am currently a rising senior looking to avoid taking a gap year. I am taking my MCAT this August and retaking one class that must be replaced this fall semester. I am looking to apply to Temple, NYCPM and Barry. If I submit applications around January-February, do you think I will have a fair shot at a fall 2017 start? Or is it not worth it at all because most interview spots will have been taken already? Also, for NYCPM the deadline for a January 2018 start is in the fall of 2017 (a bit later) so I was planning to apply for the 4.5 year program as well. Do you think I will have a fair shot?I was accepted. I'll be starting at Temple this August. So if you have questions about the application/interview/acceptance process then I can probably help. If you have questions about anything else I might be able to help or at least point you in the right direction.

Just keep in mind that podiatry is either unknown to most premeds or undesired for whatever reasons. So the applicant pool is small. Seats don't fill up immediately like MD schools. For the pod cycle, it's almost never too late to apply.I am currently a rising senior looking to avoid taking a gap year.
