Hello Everyone,
I am currently a rising senior, and I am studying Mechanical Engineering. I have taken Chemistry I and II, along with Physics I and II with the corresponding labs. However, I have not taken any biology courses, or organic chemistry courses or the organic labs. The way my college works: its really hard to sign up for new courses, and I don't think I can take the remaining courses needed for a medical school application.
Are there any post-baccalaureate programs with some linkage programs that I can do seeing as I have taken a few science courses, and have yet to take some?

So I misread your post. You are a rising senior and your college won’t let you take courses outside your degree track? If I understood that correctly, then I would just focus the following year on doing the extracurriculars I had mentioned before: service volunteering (homeless shelter, food bank, etc.), clinical experience (nursing assistant, free medical clinic, phlebotomy), and physician shadowing (makes sure to get primary care shadowing over specialties). If you can get involved in your pre-med club as a treasurer or something, leadership EC checked off. And research is nice but not a must. You don’t need to take those classes before you take the MCAT. I would read through a Kaplan MCAT prep book and watch all of the Khan Academy MCAT videos. “Chad’s Videos” are also amazing but a little outdated. Then you could do a post-bacc once you graduate and knock those other classes out: orgo, biology, biochemistry, psychology, and sociology. Hope that helps.
