prerequisites

I was not a psychology major, and now I want to pursue a PhD or Psyd. I have thought about taking undergrad prerequisites, but I came across some MA programs that are less expensive than undergrad tuition at many schools. Would it be worth my while to get a MA in psychology? I am particularly...

I have a bit of a dilemma that I really need to make on my own but can't seem to grasp both options. I have applied to vet school already for Fall 2018 and am currently taking 13 credits online through CSU while working full-time. This semester, I am taking my last remaining prerequisite as well...

I am currently a Junior at university with one semester after this current one to go. I have completed both general biologies, English, Psych/Soc, and one semester of physics. This semester, I am currently finishing my second general chemistry semester and first semester of A&P lecture and lab...

hey guys! So I was looking at Puerto Rico's optometry school. For the course prerequisite gpa that they calculate, does anyone know if the take the higher grade or most recent grade in a retaken course? I retook Gen Chem and Physics, so I was trying to see what my prerequisite gpa would be for...

Does anyone know the list of schools that don't accept Community college credits? I wanted to take couple courses at a cc now that I have graduated from a 4 year university such as Anatomy and Physiology I&II?

Hey all. I'm applying to Texas schools via TMSDAS for entry in Fall of 2018. I have one lingering requirement left: Ochem 2 lab. It normally wouldn't be a big deal, but because I travel a lot for work (M-Th) I've been unable to take the lab (as I would miss out on labs which I'm assuming is...

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...

At the end of AADSAS, when we're matching prerequisites with the courses from our transcripts, are we supposed to just put the minimal amount of courses that fit that prerequisite category? Or are we supposed to match every course on our transcript that fits the prerequisite category?

I'm not majorly concerned about any of the other med school prerequisites....but calculus scares the **** out of me. I've successfully avoided math entirely unto this point. Now I'm in an algebra class, and that's fine, I'm getting an A; but I honestly think that I'm not capable of going up to...

Hey guys! First thread here. I'm taking the PCAT on 1/3/18 with only the following prereqs: Gen Chem 1&2, Gen Bio 1, A&P 1, and Microbiology. I will not have Organic 1&2 or Calculus in yet, but I have College Alegbra/Trig pretty fresh. I learned the base of organic chemistry in another...

My physics II class just says "Gen Physics II" in the title but in the description it says lecture/lab, is a total of 4.00 credits and there is no separate lab offered because they said the class includes the lab component. There is only one grade though and I don't know if on the transcript it...

Hi, I will be graduating from my undergrad in May, but I still need Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry as pre-requisites. I have already taken O Chem, but I did not do well in it at all because I did not take it very seriously. Does anyone have an tips on how to stay on track and do well in...

Hi, I recently accepted a position as a full time Medical Scribe that will require me to work 4 times per week. I am graduating from undergrad next month and I plan on applying to PA schools this time next year. I still need a few classes/I am planning on retaking one or two. I have been...

I took gen chem I at my first school and then transferred schools straight into orgo. My current school does not offer gen chem II, they only have the first one. They have upper year non-organic type chem classes with lab like descriptive inorganic chem, physical and analytical. Would I be able...

Hi, I'm currently an undergraduate student. I decided going down the optometry path pretty late, so I still have some prereqs to fulfill after graduating this May. I hope to finish to apply for Fall 2019. I see that for most of the schools that you do not need to have the prerequisites fulfilled...

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...

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...

Hello, I will be a 2017 Spring Graduate with a B.A. in Music and Minor in Psychology. I have a 3.6 GPA, a full tuition ride through undergraduate, good leadership roles, plenty of general volunteer hours and tons extracurricular activities, but no science prerequisites. I have read the general...

Hi all, I need to take physics 2 and the lab in order to graduate on time, and it must be completed by the end of June in order for me to matriculate this year. The course must be above the "introductory" level. "college" or "general" are close enough for further inspection, at least. I know...

I have seen many posts about people asking if they can take anatomy and Phys 1/2 to satisfy bio 2, but does anyone have first hand experience where they were accepted without taking biology 2. I'm a sport and exercise science major going into my my last semester of my senior year and biology 2...

Who doesn't have a little bit of anxiety about their future, especially premeds? I'm pretty awake from a redbull and my homework is done so I made this :) All the time we hear "You can be a perfect applicant and still be rejected." But there has to be more to it than that. I am attempting to...

Last time I checked, there are about 56 dental schools in the US. :wow: The advice given when taking prerequisites is that there are required courses and recommended courses, and this all depends on the dental school that you're applying to. I guess it makes sense that a pre-dent student would...

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...

Hi Everyone, I'm a bit of non traditional pre-vet student. I graduated 2 years ago, worked for a great company, and have now quit to pursue my dream of becoming a veterinarian. I'm trying to decide where to take a my prerequisites and would appreciate any advice. I have about 9 total: Chem...

I am a prospective Doctor of PT student. I hold a BA from a top college (3.83 GPA, magna cum laude, phi beta kappa) but I was a non-science major and I need to complete all prerequisite coursework. I am debating enrolling in courses at a state university or community college. Based on your...

Hi! I'm on the verge of finishing all of my remaining prerequisites to apply to dental school. The only classes left are organic chemistry 2 and biochemistry. My grades from physics and organic chemistry 1 aren't in yet, but I've been between a low A and a high B in both classes. Right now, my...

So, I've applied to the local university in my area to take some in-person classes, definitely biochemistry and probably a few other sciences courses (human anatomy and toxicology maybe) to help myself get back in the school mode and prep for MCAT. Also, I've seen Biochemistry become less and...

Hey guys and gals, the semester is almost over and it looks like the 4.0 post-bacc GPA will remain (knock on wood). Next semester I’ve got Ochem II, Microbiology and Genetics, followed by Biochem and a required Psychology course in the summer. MCAT is June 30th. Extracurriculars are VERY strong...

Hi Everyone, I went to two community colleges before transferring to UCLA. I took the first English class that satisfied the English composition area at Glendale CC and then a class that covers the English composition/Critical thinking at Pasadena CC. I also split the gen Bio classes: The...

Hi: I submitted a secondary application in which they asked me to fill out the pre-requisites. I focused on the essays and making sure that they were good before making to check all the prerequisites were entered, but I submitted the application before that section was finished. It allowed me...

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...

Hello all, As you see my account, I tried to go into optometry school few years ago (about 5 years ago?). Due to family/financial issue, I had to pause my dream for a while. I have been working right after I took my first/last OAT. Some stuffs happened during the time I was studying for OAT so...

Hi Everyone, I am currently a college senior hoping to apply to some post-baccalaureate pre-medical programs in the upcoming application cycle. I had some concerns though, and I was wondering if anyone could relate and give me some advice, as it is much needed! 1. As a college senior, would I...

Hello everyone, I am technically a Georgia resident (GA driver's licence, voting registration, and a dependent of parents paying taxes in GA), however, I am obtaining my undergraduate degree at Concordia University in Montreal, Canada. My first choice for dental school is Dental College of...

Hi everyone, I graduated from college in 2011 and have since been working as as software developer (B.S. in Computer Science). It pays the bills but more and more as I go into work I think about how much I want to practice medicine as a doctor. Being that I work full time and would only...

Long content, short question: I'm not saying you don't need a strong background in math and science, but it seems like a lot of the school websites I visit are saying that they don't have a specific set of prerequisites anymore. Is this for real? Can I maybe skip making up the second semester...

Read the prior threads...still looking for some input. I'm an active Army Officer working as an Executive Officer (Roughly 60 to 70 hours a week...maybe more but I don't want to overestimate...deployed once...ramping up for Afghanistan deployment currently) and there is no way possible I can...

Hi everyone! Recently I found out that some medical schools require pre-requisite courses to be taken within five years and other schools are open to older courses but like to see recent coursework. I graduated in 2013 and have been working as a clinical research coordinator for the past two...
