Applying without Microbiology prereq

[shenanigan309]

I just want to double check, can you apply to a school that requires a pre-req you have not yet completed? I technically have not taken microbiology (however, have several microbiology graduate level courses) and I want to apply to Michigan, Detroit-Mercy, and Midwestern-IL all of which require the course. I will be happy to take it next spring if my matriculation depends on it, but would like to submit my application now, is that OK or should I not apply to those 3 schools. Thanks!

Put it as pending. Just have to take it before you enroll.

Yes, you may apply. Will be required to be completed prior to matriculation as you stated.

You only really have to be careful with schools like ohio state where they require 9/13 prereqs be completed before applying. Other than that you generally just have to have them done before matriculation. I haven't done my microbiology or biochem prereqs yet but put them in planned coursework 🙂
