? regarding prereqs that should be taken before applying/DAT, etc.

[phatty033]

So I am thinking of applying the next cycle (2012 entering class) and I am graduating from a bachelors program in a month. I still have yet to take ochem 1+2, biology 2, physics 1+2, anatomy/biochem among other electives. I know that classes like ochem & biology should be taken prior to taking the DAT, but as far as I have heard, physics can be taken later? would I be able to apply next year if I have not completed physics 1 &2 and what other classes are not required in order to apply?

Also university of florida requires classes such as biochem, micro, molecular bio (??), are those types of classes required prior to applying? Thanks in advance, everyone here is a huge help!

Completion of above courses (pre-requisite or recommended) is only required before matriculation not before applying. So leave Phys for the last, so you can finish the ones that help your DAT study.

I do not believe Molecular biol or Microbiol is requred for most of schools, they may be highly recommended upper biologies. I know of only few schools that need microbiol as pre-req. But again you do not need them for your application; however; when you apply put the crouses you have not taken as a planed coursework.
