Completion of Pre-Reqs Question

I was just wondering if there is any bias towards review of students applications whom have not completed "weeder" courses such as orgo prior to submitting their application. It would seem to me that an ADCOM would look more favorably upon an applicant who has completed all of their pre-reqs rather than half, or a quarter of them. Any clarification would be helpful. I do understand that ALL of them must be completed prior to matriculation, but I am just asking about how the completion of various amounts could potentially weigh in on admissions decisions.

I doubt this plays a role but you need an MCAT score to apply and you'll need to take those courses for the MCAT so you'll have most of them done and out of the way by the time you apply. For example, I wouldn't only take a quarter of them and apply and hope that I could find the rest in the coming year (to avoid tanking my GPA?) because that would be near impossible... Just complete all or the vast majority of your pre-requisites before you apply. Most schools want them finished by matriculation but some are picky and want them finished before you apply. Check MSAR
