Social science requirements

I took psychology and microeconomics as my social science electives for my college but unfortunately for some inane reason, AACOMAS doesn't consider microeconomics to be a social science. Is it possible to be looked at and admitted without one of the social science classes to any of the D.O/M.D schools? Of course I'll probably take sociology or something like that my final semester but is it possible?

I do believe that most schools are flexible regarding these ridiculous requirements... If you have BA/BS and took all the prereqs with some English classes, you should be ok IMO.

As long as the prereqs are taken before matriculation, all is well.

Its fine as long as you finish them before you matriculate. Besides not every med school requires social sciences, but again as long as you take it before you start medical school it shouldn't be a problem.
