I am anticipating applying in 2008 for 2009. The question I have is, with the classes I need for my degree and when they are scheduled, I may not have my degree until end of fall semester. I will have all the pre req's. The only class that I may need to take is Biochem I. If I apply in July and have the MCAT done in April, will this make a huge difference. OR will be alright as long as I have my degree before I matriculate?



Thanks,

Rob

You'll be fine as long as you have your degree before you matriculate.
