Should i apply to Midwestern as another back up? My biggest concern is that I won't have a year of anatomy and physiology. Due to time constraints, I will only have 1 semester of Anatomy and Physiology.

Should I even bother?? Im taking my DAT in 2 weeks and applied to 10 schools already (including NYU, BU, Tufts)

3.6 overall/3.4 sci
no DAT yet 🙁

I thought all schools require 1 year of A&P? (one semester of anatomy, one semester of physiology)

They won't waive any credits you don't have. I tried, and it failed. But in my situation it was fine.

Some schools don't require it at all. Most, if not all, recommend it. It is usually required/recommended as 1 semester of anatomy and 1 semester of physiology.

The problem is that some schools combine it into one class (4 credits per semester) leaving you with what some schools consider 2 credits of anatomy and 2 credits of physiology. To complete the series/requirement, you need to take the second semester of A&P.

I would check with schools individually to be sure since you're under a constraint and can't take the second semester. As for Midwestern, they've had a problem with people not completing pre-reqs after acceptance (perhaps some people looking to get a lab or credit waived). So look for them to pay special attention to that.

Most schools don't require it. Just recommend it along w/ immuno or microbio.
