I just made an account because I was lurking around and couldn't find a thread that was similar enough to my situation. I'm a non-trad, 25 years old and am missing some prerequisites. I really didn't want to delay my application because I'm getting older and wouldn't know what to do for another year but this is what I have.
Science GPA 3.72
Non-Science GPA 3.67
MCAT: 10/10/11
CA resident
I'm missing Biology labs I and II as well as Organic Chemistry I and II with labs. I'm doing both semesters of Organic Chemistry this summer with labs. I was lucky that my MCAT didn't have much ochem and I was able to learn the little that I needed to do okay. So My questions is this, should I wait until my ochem grades come back in August and apply next cycle (since that would be late for this cycle)? Or will admission officers not even bother with my app since I'll be missing that class. Additionally I never took the Bio labs while in college so unfortunately I need to take those Maybe I can take those at a CC in fall and winter and just list those on my apps as in progress.
Is it dumb to apply this cycle or should I wait a year?
