No longer an issue, thanks

I'm actually in a similar situation except I've been out of school for a few years. If you have no other acceptance, it would probably be easiest to just exchange class Y for something you are taking next semester.

Otherwise, you should be able to take the class online in the summer as long as you will be done and have passed the class by the time of matriculation.

Before you start next semester: Email the med school to make sure you can take it in the summer. Then make absolutely sure that you find a school that offers the course in May, that the course will not be hard to get into, and that you will be finished by matriculation

Yes, you can definitely do this. Many schools will allow you to enroll as a non-degree student and take whatever classes you want for credit. (Definitely any public university or community college and many private schools as well, if they have a school of continuing education or something like that.)

I would check with School X, though, and make sure that they accept online classes for prereqs. Some schools do, some schools don't. Taking it during the summer shouldn't be a problem as long as you take it for credit. It's also a good idea to have a back up plan in case you're unable to register for the class you want at a given school. For example, I know that some classes fill up insanely quickly at the CC in my area and registration preference is given to degree-seeking students first.

Thank you for the great answer!

And as far as you know, most universities will just let random graduated students take a class after they get a degree?

Yep, I've done non-degree post-bac classes and the "application" process is simple enough. But like @thatwouldbeanarchy said, make sure that you have a school(s) in mind that offer the class (especially since private schools charge up to $3K for a class and CCs are under $1K)
