Hey guys, so I'm coming into this medical school thing kind of late. I'm in the fall of my junior year and I still haven't taken Orgo I+II, precal, or cal 1. I just want to know, when should I take my MCAT and apply?

 

[IBelieveInEli]

I should have expanded. I've done research and volunteer work. I'm going to begin shadowing a doctor at a local hospital and I have three letters of recommendation, working on my fourth.

You have 4 LORs but still haven't taken the MCAT or your prereqs? 😕

 

[IBelieveInEli]

No. :/ I decided to switch to pre-med two semesters ago. I just finished research at the University of Miami and two doctors will give me letters of recommendation there. I did research at my university for psychology. I'm tutoring for Biology and my boss is writing me a letter. I'm also going to ask for a letter from the doctor I'm going to shadow. I just can't find a consistant timeframe online.

You need 1 or 2 letters from science profs no matter what.

Yes. Schools have specific guidelines regarding this.

Okay, I'll get working on that. Thank you.
