Hi guys, I am currently in a cc (philosophy major) and my councelor told me to take Calc 1 and 2 as a premed requirement together with calc based Physics. This semester I am taking Calc 1 and Chem 102 (lecture and lab) and philosophy and both chemistry and Calc 1 has been kicking my butt in...

Hi everyone, I want to drop a math class I am taking this semester (for personal reasons and scheduling conflicts), but I'm wondering if I even need take it next semester at all. I have AP credit from AP Stats and AP Calc AB, and I'm wondering if I can use both of those credits to satisfy the...

I am going through the PTCAS application and am at the "review and finalize" portion of transcript entry. I come across this statement, "Note: courses should be marked repeated only if repeated at the same institution. If you took a course at one institution and later repeated it at another...

I’m currently attending an online (big name and regionally accredited) university for psychology. I can’t give up a full time salary, so I’m switching from my job in aviation to become a surgical tech - this way, I can gain clinical experience, LOR’s, volunteer opportunities, network, etc. With...

I’m currently an undergraduate student at Arizona State University, but I’m attending online. I’m considering majoring in Biochemistry, but I want to check if those online prerequisites would count. If not, I’ll major in psychology and take my prerequisites at a local community college...

Hi everyone, I'm a pre-dent who is one year out of college. I got my bachelor's at Rice University and have finished all my prereqs except Orgo 2 which I plan to take July-August at University of Houston Downtown (4 year school). My question is will dental schools regard UH Downtown as a bad...

Hello, I am a career changer with not that many science courses except the basic science pre-reqs (chem, orgos, and bios). I still have to take biochem but thinking about taking it in the Fall because I want to spend my time studying for the DAT in the summer. I am aiming to submit my app by...

Hi, my pre-req grades are pretty good as of now, with A's and B's in just chemistry. But, my physiology class this semester is not going well, and I could see myself ending with a C+ or B- in it. I was wondering if a bad grade in a pre-req class can ruin my chances of getting into PT school?

hi everyone, I just got a pretty devestating grade back - I’m not doing so well in ochem 2 this semester. I got a 68 and 44 on the exams so far. It seems like no matter how hard I study, a lot of the questions on the exam are so foreign to me. That fact that I’m taking several other hard...

Hi everyone! 26 year old nontraditional student here. Graduated from a 4 year university back in 2013 with a double major in Economics and International Business. After graduating I played professional soccer for a couple years. Unfortunately that got cut short due to injuries. I now own my own...

Hey everyone. I will be done with prereq's after this semester. The only upper division science classes I will have will be ochem I and II, as well as biochem. I have two years remaining, and only have room to take 2 more science classes (I'm a philosophy major). What 2 other classes would you...

Hi everyone, I can't find any information online about prerequisites taken at a community college for USF med school. Does anyone have any information on this? Do they allow none, some, or all?

What the heck happened to the ISP Accelerated Program (CA)? I was planning on taking my last couple of prereqs through them this year, but their website says they're still figuring out 2017 dates - hello, it's 2018! I called their phone number and just keep getting their voicemail. I'm bummed...

As I'm scrolling through pre-med reqs now it would seem some medical schools require statistics, but prefer biostatistics. I am enrolled to take elementary statistics next semester, and this statistics course specifically geared towards students who will later pursue graduate school in the...

Hey everyone. I did pretty well in A&P 1 but took a two year break since finishing the course. I start A&P 2 in about month and a 1/2. I have been going over topics via youtube but I have lost ALL my notes on the course since I moved. Will I be at a disadvantage? Is there anything specific I...

Hello, Hope you’re having a good day. I am aware that this topic has been discussed repeatedly in different contexts, but I felt the need to ask again for more concrete answers. I’ll try to phrase my questions accurately. I am not at the point to purchase MSAR yet, but 1). does it show whether...

Hello, I was wondering if it looks bad if I take the human physiology prereq at a different university for my pre-pharmacy courses as an undergraduate. The reason I am thinking about taking it at another university is because I have already went to the course at my university and the same...

Hi everyone! I was curious if every pre-req had to be met before applying? Thank you!

This might be a really dumb question but do I need every prerequisite class that a school asks for? I'm applying to St Augustine San Marcos but I have never taken a Medical Terminology class. Do I still apply even though I haven't taken that prerequisite or should I not even apply?

Hello OT community, My SO is very interested in becoming an OT. I'm applying to PT school and I know we have PTCAS where you can easily reference the prerequisite courses and average accepted GPAs for most schools. Is there a similar link for OT prereqs and GPAs? If not, what do most of them...

Good afternoon everyone!! I've been working on my VMCAS application since it opened up in May, only to find out the main school I was applying to recently added biochem as a prereq. I'm enrolled for Ochem 1 this fall and Ochem 2 in the spring (to which I will be adding principles of biochem to...

I am in a weird situation. I have taken my ochem class at a community college but have heard many times that its looked down upon. I have graduated from a university with a BA in English and have already completed my Bio and Gen chem series and because of money situation decided to finish my...

So I just graduated from a 4-year university with a 3.75 GPA and a B.S. in psychology. I have recently found an interest in dentistry and was looking to take all the science prerequisite classes at a community college. That being said, will taking those classes at a community college be...

If I have mediocre (3.0-3.3) grades for all or most of my pre-reqs, but have an overall good SGPA (3.6-3.7) due to being a science major and thus having that many more BCPM courses to make up for my poor pre-reqs... how does that look to adcoms? The reason I am asking is, couldn't a science...

Hi everyone, I am applying to dental school this cycle and I was wondering if taking English 200 after I apply (but before I graduate in May 2018) will affect my acceptance into dental school. I know schools will often give a tentative acceptance upon completion of the course, however does...

Hey guys! So I'm a third year student at a Canadian University right now. My first choice for optometry is definitely Waterloo but I'm also going to apply to American schools as a backup. My GPA and OAT scores are fine (3.8 and 400 TS, 380 AA) but I"m concerned about prerequisite courses. I'm...

Thought I would share this here in case it's helpful to anyone: https://www.reddit.com/r/premed/comments/5xcgmv/a_nonexhaustive_list_of_schools_that_will_accept/ I feel that there is an overwhelming consensus that the second semester of organic chemistry is required for admission to most...

Soooo I am currently enrolled in Animal Nutrition through OkState. I intended to complete it as part of my UF prerequisite coursework, but they rejected me during this cycle. Since I have not sent in the first assignment yet, I can still get a refund for the course and get my money back. I just...

I'm starting college this fall and keeping up my GPA is something I've always struggled with. I always do well on standardized tests because you just have to focus for a couple hours and it's over. But, I struggle to consistently study. So I have a couple questions: 1. How did you study for...
