How bad is it to apply without taking all of the prereqs? (Even though they will be completed before matriculation)
I keep hearing that med schools don’t care if you dont have all the prereqs done for matriculation. I’m a non-trad (psych bachelors), URM and I have one more semester of prereqs after this semester. I really want to apply this upcoming June, if not I’ll have to take 2 gap years (I’m not having a good time with the online format and i need more clinical experience). I actually want to push Orgo 2 and Physics 2 (with labs) until Fall 2021. I’ll take Biochem Spring 2022. I want to take next semester off to focus on clinical experience and MCAT (I know it’s not recommended when you’re missing prereqs) but honestly I’m burning out since this is my 6th year of undergrad anyway, will med schools care if I plan on taking my last couple of prereqs after applying?? Any advice on how i should proceed?
