Future Grad Coursework Question

Hi guys,

I'm applying this year in a couple days. I will also attend one of two master's programs for the gap.

Should I indicate the coursework for this program(s)?
Or should I tell them during my secondaries?
Or later? When I'm absolutely sure. Like a mid semester grade update.

On one hand, I want med schools to know what I'm doing. On the other, it could cause some complications if I end up not doing one or both...(I'm 95% sure)

Help appreciated! Thanks.

So you're just not sure if you're going to take more classes? Btw, your med school acceptance is usually contingent upon completion of any other degree program in which you have enrolled, so if you're considering entering a masters program you better be sure you can finish it.

I'm pretty sure I will be enrolling in a master's program, I'm just not sure which one (two possible choices). If I enroll, I will definitely finish it.

My issue is whether I should indicate this as future coursework on the PRIMARY, as there are some classes that would be relevant towards medicine. Or alternatively, if I should wait and update them in the secondary or a grade update later in the semester.

well your primary should have a section for future/planned coursework, so that's where it should go. If there is a section on secondaries for future coursework it should also go there.
