Hello friends,
I did a search looking for a similar topic but couldn't find anything, which was kind of surprising...
I'm currently finishing up a post-bacc program. I'm taking Biology and Organic Chemistry at the moment. I'll be applying this summer for Fall 2012 matriculation, which means I need to take the MCAT at some point before this summer. I was contemplating taking the January 2011 MCAT, even though I haven't even gotten halfway through Biology and Orgo yet. My reasoning is that I'll have more free time over the holiday break to focus on MCAT studying, and can learn MCAT Bio and Orgo content well enough from a prep book to perform well on the test to justify the semester or so of class content I'm foregoing by not waiting until later instead.
Has anyone else had experiences with this? Am I crazy for thinking I can take the MCAT without having finished the classes on which the MCAT is testing me?
Thanks.
