Hi everyone,
So here is my situation:
I am currently in my third year of University. After second year I had a change of heart and changed my major from biomedical science to Biology. Because of this change, I have to take an extra year to finish all the degree requirements (5 years to finish a 4 year degree; does anyone know if this will hurt me?). I am hoping to take the MCAT this summer and apply to DO schools in my 4th university year so I can matriculate right after I graduate (5th year). I am wondering if my chances will be hurt significantly if I apply to DO schools without a completed Bachelors (I would be 1 year away from finishing them).
I am already a year behind the "schedule" I planned for myself and I am wondering if this will set me another year behind. Any advice/comments will be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much.
 
You just need a completed bachelors before you matriculate. A lot of people are still in the process while applying.
 
It doesn't hurt at all. I have something like 200 credits. Interviews at everywhere I applied.
 
Thanks so much for the replies guys, I really appreciate them.
