Hi all. I'm hoping you can help me with the mishmosh of labs/classes that I"m working with...
I graduated in 2000. I took a year of physics in undergrad, but didn't take the lab -- never expected that I'd be applying to med school and need it. I need to take the lab now, but since I'm working full-time this year, I'd rather not take the entire class over again. Any ideas about whether that's a. possible, and b. okay with the med schools that require physics lab?
None of the schools near me (Minneapolis, MN) offer the lab alone. I did find an online lab course through Indian Hills Community College in Iowa (you buy the stuff from a hardware store, do it yourself, and sumbit lab reports online), but I don't think it's a yearlong lab. What do you think about that?
Also, as an undergrad I took an advanced intro chem class with lab that compressed a year of material into one semester. To bring myself up to a year of chemistry, I took an inorganic chem class last year, but there was no lab attached to it. My undergrad college (Yale) says that's an appropriate combination there, but I took the second class at Berkeley, not Yale. I'm wondering if I'm safe with just that first semester of general chem lab. I did work in an organic chem lab for a summer in addition to the full year of orgo class lab.
Sorry for all the detail. Any thoughts? Thanks!
