This question has indirectly come up on another thread of mine .... but I wanted to get everyone's feedback on this.

Please reply if you didn't have any of the following prereqs completed at the time of the AMCAS application. Also, if your prereqs were more than 10 years old, please indicate that too.

Biology with lab - 1 year (2 courses in a semester system, or 3 courses in a quarter system)
General Chemistry with lab - 1 year (2 courses in a semester system, or 3 courses in a quarter system
Organic Chemistry with lab - 1 year (2 courses in a semester system, or 3 courses in a quarter system)

I was missing a biology lab.

I was missing a semester of "english" when I initially submitted the application but I did put on the AMCAS that I would be taking it in the fall.

I took my last bio lab the summer I was applying, so it wasn't on my application, but then I updated my transcripts to AMCAS and TMDSAS in the fall.

Are you kidding? I wonder what school is that ?

 

[doctorvenkman]

without his permission, i can't tell, but i think he may have been a special case. he was a physics major, so he had a lot of science under his belt besides these labs. he promised the school he'd do the labs the summer before he began, and never did. i don't think they really cared.
