Hey guys:
I am a nontraditional taking the informal postbac route. My initial plan was to finish all my prerequisites in a year and take the MCAT in June. However, my dad passed away this semester and I was forced to drop a class (b/c I had to plan the funeral, and take care of some stuff at home.) Moving forward, I want to know if anyone has had success in gaining admittance to med school even though they completed a major science prereq via online? I am specifically looking at the University of New England and Oregon State University to complete Organic Chemistry I online (winter session.)
I am going to try to take organic chemistry I lab during summer session I and take orgo lecture/lab II during summer session II.
Some things that I know (so I guess it does not need to be repeated over and over again):
I know that organic chemistry is a major class and that it is considered a "weed- out" class by many. However this is why, I still planned on taking orgo I lab in the summer at a nearby university. Is that enough?
I also wanted to note that I know taking orgo online is not going to be any easier than taking it in the classroom.
