Hey guys/gals,
I'm currently in my 2nd year at a community college and am having trouble visualizing the next year. I actually started off my freshman year not knowing what I wanted to do, and lazed about, not taking all the science courses I was supposed to be, landing me currently with a 3.4 GPA. I'm not particularly worried, because I'm confident I can do well in all my courses(Bio II, Chem I & II, Phys I & II, O-chem I and II) this year and transfer to a four-year university without issue.
What I am worried is that I will not be ready for the MCAT most people take in their junior year. I've heard that I need to take 2 semesters of biochem to be ready for it and I don't think I'd have enough time to do those things before the MCAT. Basically I'm asking if I need to postpone when I take the MCAT or if I'm missing some class that is required for the MCAT or med school in general. Thank you.
