I'm currently a junior taking Ochem I, and I need to decide how to format my schedule to fit a good time to take the MCAT. I will be taking a year off after graduation, but I want to get the MCAT done before my last semester of college. I have all the other pre-req classes completed. Here are my options:
1. Take Ochem II over the summer, study for the MCAT during fall semester, and hopefully take the MCAT in January
or
2. Study for the MCAT (without Ochem II) this summer with very few obligations and take it at the end of summer
If I were to take the MCAT in January then I will have had molecular biology and Ochem II complete, but I am expecting a very busy schedule and don't know how much time I can dedicate to studying. Would it be crazy to take the MCAT with independent Ochem II studying? I'm in need of advice! Thanks!
