I was doing secondaries from U. Mich and UCLA. The problem is that I haven't taken biochemistry yet and U. Mich asks applicants to fill in the course name/number for my biochem requirement. UCLA also has a similar thing where they ask if you have taken 1 year english. I will be taking biochem and my 3rd quarter of english in my 2nd quarter... can I put "YES" or fill in the course I WILL take??? (UCLA has a YES/NO check box; you can't say "future class" or anything of the like) I'm just paranoid that they will later say that it wasn;t on my transcript at the time and that I was being dishonest... I'm sure this will come up on more secondaries but I;ve only done 3 so far.

As long as you take them by the time you graduate you are fine. Call them to be sure. When I applied to UCLA I did not take Biostats (I think it was a requirement for UCLA) and I called them: they told me to take it anytime before graduation (even in summer at COmmunity College if I wanted to). I ended up not taking it, because it was not a requirement for other schools and I was rejected from UCLA in January, before I had a chance to enjoy Biostats so I dropped it.
Good Luck!!!

Hopefully mods will move this to pre-allo.
