When is it a good time to apply for fall 2007? I already have my BS, but have not finished all the pre-req's. I have yet to take org. chem and my gen chem labs, need 2 retake statistics, and 1 more bio. Will schools accept me knowing that I do not have these classes, even if I am expecting to take them while in the application process? 😳

You can't start applying for Fall 2007 until summer of 2006. So if you can take all that stuff this summer and the next two semesters, that should be about right. You wonuldn't be invited to interview until you have most of those classes done, as interviews wouldn't start for 2007 until Fall/Winter of 2006. As long as you get the pre-rqs done before you start school in Fall 2007 you will be fine.

Get your applications in early. The 2007 cycle will start in August of 2006. Try to have all your apps in by Fall 2006, even if you still need a class or two, you can take the remaining classes you need during the Spring 07 semester and even in the summer before pharm school starts. Some schools will give preference to students who already are done with all prereqs at time application is submitted, but LOTS of people still have to finish a class or two while they are going through the application process. Good luck.
