how do adcoms look upon this...i know its better to finish most pre-requisite classes before u apply but how many pre-req courses can you/ or should u take at the most in the application year...or do they even care?

I know quite a few people that have done this. Generally they took Physics and O chem during that year and had biology and general chem out of the way so that the schools could have grades for both of those courses. Personally, I wanted to get everything out of the way before applying as I don't think I could juggle working, going to school full-time, and managing the application process all at once.

I'm shocked so many people wait to take Orgo their last year. I took it 2nd yr after freshman gen chem. Isn't that when most students take it? Shows how little I know.
