prereqs

Hi everyone. I'm a non- Canadian international student, non-trad (graduated in May 2022). I've been trying to figure out if prereqs have an "expiration date". Some schools say "5 years", some 10. Some say they "prefer" or "recommend" it to be recent coursework. Anyways, I'm planning to apply in...

Hi! I recently decided to commit to the pre-dental route, as I have been undecided between pre-med, pre-pharm, and pre-dent all of undergrad. I am currently a junior and am wanting to apply this cycle, and will most likely take the DAT in April. I am scared that this quick turnaround might hurt...

Title. I'm nontraditional and applying with a killer MCAT score, a PhD, many many pubs and patents, 15K + hours clinical and volunteer experience. I have a couple C- in my gen chem series. My PhD GPA was 4.0. I took grad level chem courses and got As. For schools where prereqs don't expire (the...

The short of it is I am a non traditional student seeking to apply this cycle. I completed the majority of my prereqs at a local community college. For Biochemistry I took the UCSD extension course ( https://extendedstudies.ucsd.edu/courses-and-programs/biochemistry ) which is a 10 week...

Does anyone know specifically if Sociology is a REQUIRED--not just recommended--prereq right now for any med school? I've gone through these SDN forums about Sociology as a prereq spanning back a number of years. The general consensus is that Sociology is recommended as a prereq at "most" med...

Hello everyone, Here's the situation: I recently submitted my primary application. However, I realized that I didn't indicate all the prerequisite courses that were required in the primary application. I'm concerned about how this might affect the secondary applications and potential interview...

I know this question is asked a lot, but I’ve seen mixed answers so I’m a little confused. Some people say you shouldn’t take science/math prereqs under any circumstance at a community college if you attend a four-year college for all 4 years, while others say just a couple would be okay. I am...

Hello everyone, I am right now a junior and am applying for the pharmacy fall’22 cycle soon. I have a couple classes soon that i want to complete before applying but due to financial problems, i am thinking about taking 2 or 3 classes this summer at my local community college instead of my...

Hello! I am a second-year biology major at a LAC in NC graduating in 3 years total (dual enrollment in high school). I will be taking my MCAT in early 2022 before I graduate in May 2022. Because of this, I have been arranging my MCAT prep schedule and have discovered an issue taking psychology...

This has just been something kind of floating in my mind recently, but this upcoming semester I will be doing remote learning. My college offers everyone to come back minus freshman (I'm a sophomore), but I have decided to stay home bc of current COVID-19 trends and the super restrictive/limited...

Good afternoon All, any recommendations to other ONLINE PRE-REQs that are SELF-PACED in the vein of UNE?

Hi everyone, I need advice on whether or not I should be re-taking pre-req classes to raise that gpa, even if I am going to have an advanced degree (MS Biology) before applying to vet school. I received my B.S. in Biology last December. I have a few C+s, one B- : Organic Chemistry 1 & 2...

Hello all! I am looking to apply to medical school, but am a bit conflicted about my timeline. I am 28 years old with an undergrad in Econ at a top public school with cGPA of 3.75 and slightly higher science GPA, albeit with lower level science courses. I served in the Army for about 5 years...

I'm in a bit of a predicament here. Would appreciate advice on how to strategize "putting classes off," or if I even should. So, Gen Chem Lab and Organic Lab at UCLA Extension (Gen Chem Lab: General and Organic Chemistry Laboratory I | UCLA Continuing Education , Orgo Lab: General and Organic...

I am a 3rd year college student currently enrolled in the "hard/engineering" 5 credit calculus and geometry course at my university as opposed to the "easier" calculus for life sciences class. The reason I am taking the 5 credit calculus is because my concentration of "pre-med" within psychology...

I know that CC credits are taken by a case-by-case basis at many schools, and many schools prefer they be taken at a 4-year than a CC. But are there any prerequisites that aren't a big deal if taken at a CC instead of a 4-year? I've read on SDN that Orgo 1&2 at a CC induces some frowns... but...

So I'm a 1st year UCLA student with a major in Music, and I've been taking only math, biology, and chemistry courses this entire year (no major reqs) to get my pre med reqs out of the way before I start doing my music courses. However, I realized that I can't fit physics into my schedule and...

Hi everyone, I am a freshman at a 4 year college pursuing a degree in computer engineering. After completing my degree I would like to go to medical school. So far I’m having a couple of problems... 1) My university is more orientated towards engineering so they don’t really have anyone here...

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...

Hi everyone, I have one C in my transcript in ochem II and the rest of my grades are mostly As and some Bs. I think I can still end up with a 3.8+ GPA as long as there is no other major slip ups like this. Would having a C in a prerequisite course, but still having an okay overall GPA lower...

Currently in the process of knocking out my pre-reqs and I’m trying to score a LOR (letter of recommendation) from atleast 1-2 of my professors. Anybody have any experience with getting letters from them? Like how they went about asking/earning them from them?

Hi, I need to complete my physics 2 and biochem online. Are there any schools other than UNE that offer it self-paced? If anyone has done these online, how quickly were you able to complete them? Thanks a lot!

I'm interested in studying to become a doctor after 5 years of work experience as an RN. I'm 28 and I have a 3.5-year BSN degree from a European country. I'm also licensed to practice nursing in the US as my European degree was evaluated by the CGFNS and I passed the NCLEX. I'm trying to figure...

Hello all, I finished Bio I at my home institution a few years ago now and I tried to finish Bio II this semester (at the same time as Biochem and Genetics, not my best call) and I'll most likely have to withdraw from the class due to poor grades. My school has given me the option to finish the...

I’ve just recently started my undergrad at Arizona State University for Biological Sciences. The only concern is it’s an online degree, but the prerequisite classes that require a lab are on campus. I live in Georgia, so as an example: Organic Chemistry’s lecture portion is taught online. I’ll...

I am applying to dental schools in June. For many schools I have most of the prereqs completed, but not all. I am missing Physics II and Microbiology. While I see on many websites that prereqs need to be completed by matriculation, will not having them complete at application cause my...

Hi, I am a bit lost on if genetics I counts as a biology course. At the university I attend the course falls under 'GENE' instead of 'BIOL.'

Hey! I'm graduating UG from a great university and a non-traditional premed student for a variety of reasons. My two year plan as it stands is to work full-time in research that I'm passionate about with a medical school, however I still need to take (and WANT to retake) certain prereqs to make...

A couple years ago I took Biology for non-science majors. 4 hour course with a lab. (TCCCN=Biol 1408) Does anyone know if this can count as a biology pre-req for med school in texas? I know this is probably a dumb question, but worth an ask. Otherwise, assuming Biochem can't count, I will have...

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?

Not sure how many people on this board would be interested, but my local college is offering Organic I and II this summer in 5 week sessions each. The cost is $55 per credit hour and housing for the entire 10 weeks is only $380. The school is Diné College and it is located in Tsaile, AZ. It is...

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...
