Hello,
I am going to be a junior in the fall and after a lot of thought and consideration, have decided to pursue a career in medicine. I have a considerable number of general elective credits to fill, so completing the pre reqs within the normal 4 years is possible. Here is my tenative timeline:
Fall 2011-Bio 1 and Chem 1
Spring 2012-Bio 2 and Chem 2
Summer 2012-Physics 1
Fall 2012-Orgo 1 and Physics 2
Spring 2013-Orgo 2
So as the timing would have it, I wouldn't take the MCAT till spring of my senior year. My question is; would I be better off sticking to my schedule above OR spacing out the pre reqs into an extra year so I'm applying on time for that cycle?
