Quoted: Started Pre-req's late

Okay, so this might not be something that is terrible or anything, but I am just a bit uncomfortable asking it "out in the open".

When I first started college (just finished freshman year), I wasn't really sure what I wanted to do, so my academic advisor suggested getting most of the general ed. requirements my school has out of the way.

That said, I won't be starting the pre-reqs (general bio, general chem, etc) until sophomore year. Is that going to be a problem or am I worrying myself over nothing?

You are worrying over nothing. Many people ultimately going to medical school study for non-science degrees in undergrad, then go back and add-on the science pre-req's. No one will care what order you took your courses.

I had no interest in being a pre-med until the end of my sophomore year. You need to be able to explain what made you change your mind and what you've done to be sure of our interest in medicine. However, adcom members do not expect premeds to have made that choice before entering college.
