prereqs

Hi, Thank you to everyone who has been so helpful on this forum. I'm currently a sophomore at a CC who is looking at pre-reqs for dental schools, and the guidelines for UCLA is a little confusing. It is stated that "only 3 credits/4 quarters" is accepted, but I'm not too sure what that means...

Hi all, I'm a 21 year old senior at an accredited university in Puerto Rico. After much indecisiveness, I've set my eyes on studying medicine in the U.S. However, for the past three years, I've managed to pass most of my classes (I'm an Anthropology major) with little to none study habits and...

Hi all. Currently finishing a post bac at a university on the semester system. Right before starting, I took a 4 unit chemistry course at a UC extension school which uses the quarter system. My post bac school considers this equivalent to their gen chem 1, and allowed me to move on to Gen chem...

Hey Guys! I've read so many of these forums, it's nice to finally post in one! So here it goes: I will be a fifth-year college student this fall, having completed all PA requirements but decided on wanting to go to med school. This requires me to retake 2 semesters of gen chem, orgo, physics...

I have a question for anyone who may be able to give sound advice or has been through a similar situation. So, I recently got my B.S. in Community Health (or public health). Early in my undergraduate career I was on a pre-med track but after not performing as well as I wanted in Bio, Chem 1...

Hi everyone, so I am a little confused about the PTCAS gpa system. I submitted a few apps, and had my coursework verified, and they calculated the gpas. There is no prereq gpa, and it's kind of worrying me because I know my prereq gpa is a lot higher than my cumulative science, overall, etc. Is...

Hi! I am looking to begin my career in OT. I graduated with a BA in Sociology in January 2016. I am mainly looking at Stony Brook's OT program, since that is where I attended undergrad. However, I have none of the science prerequisites. Do you think it would look better on my application if I...

Does anyone know how online courses from Harvard Extension school are viewed for med school? I am looking at taking some courses through HE as refreshers so to speak.

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...

Hello iamsolemn, I am a freshman in high school and see a huge opportunity in this career path. Not many people are employed here compared to all the other medical fields and pay very well. I was wondering, does this job deal with consoling and social science/humanities or is this all entirely...

I need help deciding where I should go to complete prerequisites for pharmacy school. My options are PBA and FAU. PBA seems to be the more practical choice as I would go their for two years and then apply to their pharmacy school for four years. With FAU, I would be going there to do prereqs...

Hey, So I've been a Paramedic for seven years, also worked in Critical Care Transport, and last year I decided to go back to school and do premed. So they put me in a Biology major, and I got a 4.o, last semester (mostly generals, and one bio/lab class). This semester I have a B in Calc...

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 medical...

Hey does anyone know if UMICH has ever waived the sociology requirement. Fortunate enough to have gotten an interview from them, however, have missed the deadline to enrol in a sociology course.

Hi everyone! So I'm between three schools at the moment: UIC, Northwestern, and Ohio University. I got a great feeling at both OU and NW, but a meh feeling at UIC, although I know all three programs would be great options. In choosing a program, is it bad to go with the better logistical fit? In...

As a freshman in pre-med at a university that functions on the quarter system, I am already trying to figure out how I am going to complete all of my pre reqs in 3 years in order to take the MCAT and hopefully matriculate the year after graduating undergrad? So what's everyone doing? Do you guys...

Hey Everyone, I am thinking about taking Physics 1 online at a CC. The final exam is proctored on campus, and I would take the lab portion at my university. Would this look bad to dental schools? Also how would dental schools know I took this class online? I looked at my transcript, and it...

I'm currently considering refocusing my pursuit to become a dentist and transitioning over to pursuing becoming a physician assistant. I do have a couple of questions though. I graduated this past spring with a bachelors in finance, however I've taken all the prerequisites needed for dental...

Asking for a close friend. She's taken Biology 1 and has the chance to take Microbiology instead of Bio 2. She's found micro to be of more interest. Her question to me was, can she use Micro/lab as part of the 1 year biology requirement? I've looked at some OLD threads on here and my answer to...

Hi all, this is my first time posting here. I am currently attending a CC. I am going to be graduating with exactly 90 credits in December with my AAS. I have done a lot of floundering around in finding what I want to do. In addition, many of my classes were completed while I was still in...

Hello everyone! So I recently graduated from college in May thinking I was going to become an SLP but I have since changed my mind and decided to pursue OT. So far I'm finding the process to be so much more frustrating for OT than for SLP and I'm not even applying until next year. With SLP...

I am submitting my application (I little tight on time yes I know) and just want a little input, maybe even peace of mind. I graduated 4 years ago with a BFA in photography, decided recently that I wanted to be an equine veterinarian. I started taking classes last fall. I have two more classes...

I was admitted to Charles Drew University's Post Bacc, but I only 7k to use in undergraduate loans left. The school I graduated from in another state awarded me 12k (maybe an error, but it's in state/non private unlike CDU). CDU is around 600 per credit hour, and I only would be there for one...
