Am a PA for 1yr. comm college cgpa 3.70 and PA cgpa 3.26. U know i have most of the prerequisites including calculus 1 and organic chem 1 and both general bio 1 n 2.

BUT do i necessarily have to have the other classes like calculus 2 n 3, O-chem 2 and Biochem ( 4 Big classes in all )
How helpful are they towards studying for the MCAT.
Do you think they will still require me to get those classes first prior to applying.

Am between either spending 1yr or more taking those classes which I need A'S with my crazy job schedule
OR start right away studying for MCAT since PA program had some sciences also.

who would u recommend i talk to also for academic counseling do i need to go to medical school campuses .

thank u.

I can't make any sense of that. It's like you're tweeting in a 2nd language.

don't need calc 2 and 3. depending on the school you will need AT LEAST orgo2 OR biochem, however most schools will want orgo 2 and both would get you the best chances. do you have physics? you will need a year a physics. the prereqs need to be taken before matriculation but not before applying.
