Missing Pre-Req for Medical School?

[3601]

One of my friends recently applied to some medical schools (M.D. and D.O.) in Texas and found that he had not taken a semester of statistics. Being a pre-req for most of the medical schools which he applied for, will admissions still consider his application even though he has one pre-req missing? Thanks in advance.

Yes, but it will have to be taken prior to matriculation.

Will the med schools that require this inform him that he'll have to do this?

He already knows, so he'd better not wait to take the class before it's too late to squeeze it in.

Yes. My acceptance letter listed the one pre-req class I hadn't taken and said I needed to successfully pass that class to maintain my acceptance and matriculate. Some schools will have grade requirements too, above the usual "pass with a C." Something to look into. I'd be surprised if any acceptance that came didn't have very detailed instructions.
