[jankodejenko]

Well actually it's more of an advice i'm looking for.. basically currently taking lecture+lab for bio and ochem. on semester system at Cal. admissions for most of the schools is feb 2017 but i haven't finished 2nd semester for ochem and bio nor have i an official DAT score to submit. is it even possible to be considered as a legit applicant without the respective sequential pre-req courses finished by app submission? i plan to take DAT next summer too

I'm currently taking Biochem, o chem lab, physics, and physics lab and have interviewed at 4 places. As long as you have your plan and show them what it is, you're fine.

Yes. I applied without having taken Physics 2 or an extra bio class.

You aren't going to be taken seriously with only 1 semester of bio and 1 semester of orgo lecture. Apply next summer.
