hi, i am currently a post-bacc at a large state school. i have already taken gen chem, animal bio, cell bio & the first half of physics.
This semester I am taking the second half of physics, Genetics and the first half of Ochem. I'll be done with the Math/Physics/Chem/Bio requirements to apply to med school after the Spring 2007 semester.
My question is that I don't know when to take the MCATs. My counselor told me that the best time to apply to medical schools would be June 2007 but this would require me to study for the MCATs sometime in the Spring 2007 which I don't know if I could do b/c I'll be taking Ochem, Ochem lab and possibly biochemistry.
I just wanted to know your opinion, do you think I could take a prep course as well as go to school at the same time? Or should I pare down my Spring 2007 courses to just Ochem and Ochem lab in order to have more time to study for the MCATs? I don't know if I should take the MCATs when I haven't finished learning Ochem yet.
The MCAT will be a clincher for me b/c I have an undergrad gpa of 3.0. Thanks for any advice you could offer.
