I am currently laying out the rest of my class schedule for my undergrad. I am a junior but will be finishing in 2.5 years. With that, I will study and take my DAT spring of 2019 and apply for d school summer of 2019. I know a decent amount of schools require biochemistry, I wouldn't be able to take this until fall of 2019 with the way my classes currently layout. Does it matter when I take the course? I'd imagine it would be beneficial for the DAT but application wise, would this have any impact?



I am only taking 10 credit hours spring of 2019 so I can study for the DAT. I could take biochem this semester but I will also be taking Ochem II, I would prefer to use my time this semester to focus on Ochem and the DAT.

as long as you finish all pre-requisites by the time you graduate you are good to go. there is a spot on AADSAS application of future coursework you are planning on taking
 
if it makes you feel better, I applied this summer and am planning on taking biochem 1 and 2 this upcoming fall and winter semester. I personally did not feel like i was at a disadvantage for not have taken these courses before i took my DAT. Org. chem 2 however is definitely a necessity, but u'll have that covered by then so i think u'll do just fine. Good luck!
