Will there be additional prerequisite courses for the 2015 application cycle?

So the new MCAT will be coming in 2015, but are medical schools also adding prerequisite courses for the 2015 application cycle?

Some schools are adding psychology/sociology/biochemistry to correspond with the new MCAT.

Do you know which schools?

Well IU started it this year. I am sure the MSAR will update with the info at some point.

I hope so. Where on IU's website does it say about it? I just went to the IU's admission page and it does not seem to be working: http://admissions.medicine.iu.edu/

The website was down earlier but here is the link: http://admissions.medicine.iu.edu/applying-to-the-iu-school-of-medicine/

University of Arizona - Phoenix campus has some pretty updated course prerequisites that are already in effect

Really, your best bet would just be to review the websites of all the schools you are interested in.

I see some schools already making Biochem a pre-req. MSAR Online has an overall view of requirements, like "Humanities" or "Social Sciences".
