If you enroll in a 2nd bachelor's degree program, do you need to finish it before you enter med school?

Depends on what you said on the primary app. If you said you would finish the degree, then you would probably need to finish it.

However, you will have to contact each medical school and find out what they say. I am sure this will vary with each school.

^ This.

I was enrolled as a 2nd bachelors student for my postbacc, no one brought up not finishing it. But I would still check with individual schools.

When do you plan on finishing it? Never?

Yes. You take the 3 prereqs that you need, apply, get accepted, matriculate to medical school and never think again about the second bachelor's that you never finished.

If I get accepted during the next cycle.... probably never (if I don't have to finish it).

I'm currently enrolled as a non-degree student, and it has been very inconvenient for me to enroll in "popular" courses (due to course restrictions, etc).

I'm thinking of getting into a bachelor's degree program just for the sake of convenience....
