I am post bac student who will be finishing up prereq's by the end of this semester. I feeeeel so good about and I feel that this is a major accomplishment. Anyone feel the same way?????? To be honest organic chemistry and biochemistry are hard courses and very competitve, and to finish them and do well just feels great! The next big hurdle is taking MCATS! :-(
 
Anyone else feel the way I do??????
You should feel elated. I did last year when I finally finished my pre-reqs. However now I'm depressed about the MCAT and admissions. 🙁 So enjoy it now while you can.
 
OH sorry, i'm sure you will do much better second time around!!!!!!!!!!! Best of luck to you! 🙂
 
I am SOOOOO ready to finish the chems already :scared: I'm retaking Chem II got a C- the first time around and then I still have Orgo II and Biochem I and II. I just want to enjoy the BIOs for once without having to take CHem too.😡
 
Chem classes were the most competitive. Hang in there, do your best, and it will be over before you know it!

By the way, why are you taking Biochem I and II, it looks like most med schools only require one semester of biochem.
