Hey guys,
I'm a pre-med rising junior, and I'd like to apply to med school in a year. Right now, I'm set to take Physics I first semester and Physics II second semester.
In order to have my MCAT scores ready by the time I apply for med school, I need to take the MCAT in early April (about a month before the semester ends). I won't have completed Physics II by this time.
What would you suggest:
1) take Physics I during the summer at a different and less-respected 4 year college, and take Physics II during the fall. (I heard that med schools don't like to see you take core pre-med classes over the summer, much less at a different institution than your own.)
2) take Physics I and II during the first and second semester, respectively.
Thanks!
