Applying to Texas Schools

[FormerCorpsman]

I am a Middle Eastern Studies/Arabic major, who is planning to applying to medical school next year. My question is "Will TX Med Schools frown on only having 17 credits of Biology Courses, 12 Credits of Chemistry, and 4 Credits of Physics at the time of application?" However, I will be taking more biology, chemistry, and physics course before I graduate. Can anyone tell me whether or not schools will reject my application for not having numerous amounts of science courses under my belt at the time of application. Also, I am a Texas Resident. Thank you for time and knowledge.

No. You have to have the prereqs done prior to matriculation. The bigger worry is having a solid foundation for the MCAT. I'd say you need Physics 1&2, Bio 1&2, and Chemistry through Organic 1 to be in decent shape for the MCAT. Since you're a non-science major, I'd make sure you have some upper division Bio like Genetics, Biochem, etc.
