Confused about post-bacc timeline

[Eliz24]

I am new to this process and am a bit confused about the med school application timeline. I will be finishing up the med school course requirements this year with evening courses. If I will be finishing Organic Chemistry during summer 2011 and taking the MCAT that August, is there anyway I will be able to apply in time for the class of 2012?
Thanks!

That depends how competitive your application is and which programs you're applying to. In general, most programs start accepting applications in the winter so applying during December is recommended but if you have a weak application and programs may want to see the rest of your grades for the inprogress classes or MCAT score then you may be too late.
