Hi all,
I'm getting ready to apply to the Fall 2008 cycle. I'm a non-traditional student (out of college 2 years and worked in software development, went back for undergrad courses in Chem I, II, Bio I, II, Orgo I, Physics I... I have Orgo II and Physics II left to take in the fall this year... and I'm taking DAT in June) I just noticed a bunch of schools have additional pre-reqs beyond the usual 8 required courses. Michigan now has 3 additional required pre-reqs for Fall 2008 cycle, and Nova has 2 additional as well. My top choices are NYU, Columbia, and Stony, all of which only require the 8 usual pre-reqs... but I'm wondering if anyone knows of how much it will harm my app to not have any additional science courses (anatomy, physio, cell bio, etc.)
I'm doing a bio research course right now as a science elective, but that is really my only other science course. Any thoughts from non-trads who only did basic pre-reqs would be appreciated... as well as anyone else's thoughts!
Thanks!
