Hi everyone!
I am currently calling schools to obtain school specific information but
1. did anyone encounter pre-requisite "expiration dates"?
Ex. courses must be completed 10 years from matriculation to medical school.
I took my pre-reqs in 2009-2013 and I am applying in 2017.
[My oldest pre-reqs are Biology I and II, Gen Chem I and II -> 8 years from MD application, 9 years from matriculation.]
**What has been your experience?**
2. If you applied a few years after finishing your pre-reqs, did an interviewer question your ability to perform in an academic setting?
3. Did any of you take additional courses during your gap year(s) to demonstrate academic promise?
4. Would a good performance on the MCAT (will take it in August) and a great GPA suffice?
Thank you! I really appreciate your input!!
