Those of you who interviewed recently, if you weren't finished with all prereq's, did they ask you what classes you were enrolled in this semester and where?

I'm going to take biochem at Kansas state online, my universtiy slightly frowns on online learning, trying to decide whether to take the online version (which means I keep my job I've had for 6 years) or the traditional and broke path.

You enter all your planned/in progress academic coursework on the VMCAS, so this shouldn't be a question the adcomms can't answer themselves by just looking at your application.

At Washington, after the interview was done the lady in charge of admittance just made sure I would be completing the prereqs in the following quarter. The other schools I've interviewed at didn't bring it up at all.

Western didn't ask... but I had to prove I was set to complete everything by the end of the semester in order to get the interview. If everything doesn't check out, you get the big "👎" before you ever get to that point.

Neither of my interviews asked, and the RVC one had my VMCAS right in front of them, which would've said planned courses...right? I also met all the requirements by the interview, so there wasn't really a point I guess?

I would definitely recommend taking that class online if you think it's best. If the point to take the class online is to meet a requirement for Grad school, then who really cares what undergrad thinks, right? I was going to take animal nutrition online, and who cares if my UG did or didn't know, it would've been for Vet school anyways, not for my BS. I guess that's my point of view 🙂 You could always transfer the online course to your current UG institution as well, but when you're going for Grad school, they get all the undergrad transcripts either way.
