Hi everyone,

So I was fortunate to receive an A from an MD school, and waiting to hear back from a few others.

I technically applied without having all of my prerequisites finished.. I had everything but physics lab done (I did the lecture courses however). I know this isn’t a big deal generally because you don’t have to have them all done by the time of application, only matriculation. I completed physics lab I last semester (taking the class on top of a full time job).

My question is… what is the likelihood of my acceptance being rescinded if I didn’t finish physics lab II? The schools I got interviewed by technically say “one year of physics with lab”.

It’s just I’m getting into some trouble with my supervisor for taking the class this semester (it’s at a much more inconvenient time) and Lord knows I could do with getting a partial refund for the tuition fees.

Thank you so much!

PS: I didn’t apply with any “in progress” courses. From what I can tell the schools I interviewed with don’t know I’m taking the physics lab courses, and none of them asked for the pre-requisite.

I'd say just do the physics II lab. Better be safe than sorry
