As the title says, seeking advice on pending pre-reqs and the app cycle. My hope is to apply this cycle, heavier emphasis on DO due to late MCAT (July or August.) I was enrolled in OChem II this semester, which would have left biochem and 1 other science class pending. Of those two, I was planning on biochem online at UNE and perhaps microbio or something else at CC in the fall.
Well, work interfered and I had to drop OChem II. Previously I was under the impression that pre-reqs could remain pending but had to be completed prior to matriculation. However, I was recently reading the FAQs on Touro-NV's website and they state that no pre-reqs from the spring semester will be accepted for matriculation. That means this fall would be the last semester to take in-person classes. I don't know their policy on online courses that can be started any week of the year and completed in an accelerated time frame.
Assuming this policy is similar at other institutions, it leaves me taking Ochem II and biochem, both online, this fall and depending on the outcome of those two, trying to see if I can fit in a 3rd science class online as well. Those of you who went through this cycle with pending pre-reqs - could you describe your experiences? TIA.
