prerequisite

Hi everyone, I want to drop a math class I am taking this semester (for personal reasons and scheduling conflicts), but I'm wondering if I even need take it next semester at all. I have AP credit from AP Stats and AP Calc AB, and I'm wondering if I can use both of those credits to satisfy the...

From reading medical school admissions websites and MSAR, it appears that medical schools have a maddening variety of approaches to English department courses as prerequisites (and relatedly whether AP credits satisfy that requirement). Has anyone run across a school that requires 2 semesters...

Hi everyone :) So I'm a half way non-trad student, trying to climb a ladder back up from the biggest hole ive dug in terms of gpa.. (maybe this point is not exactly necessary for my question...but wanted to be as clear as I can) One of my classmates who is in a similar situation just visited a...

Hello, A while ago, someone posted a list of U.S.medical schools that don't have pre requisites. I haven't been able to find it. Any chance someone has it? Please and thank you.

Hi everyone! I am currently in the process of applying to DPT programs and one of the schools I am applying to has Medical Terminology as one of their prerequisites. I never took it in school but they do take a certification for it as well. I originally thought I was able to apply for the...

Hello. I have a C- for one of CSUS prereqs (biomechanics), and it says they require all prereqs to be completed with a 'C' and 3.0 prereq GPA. C- was considered to be a passing grade for upper div in my department, and that semester was a rough due to a bunch of factors. This seems to be the...

I am going through the PTCAS application and am at the "review and finalize" portion of transcript entry. I come across this statement, "Note: courses should be marked repeated only if repeated at the same institution. If you took a course at one institution and later repeated it at another...

Hi folks, I am an older student, I have two kids and have worked my whole life in a management role. I decided to go into Dentistry a few years back, started my undergrad and now I am in my Junior year, however I will not be applying until next year, 2019 when I take the DAT. I am a Houston...

I’m currently attending an online (big name and regionally accredited) university for psychology. I can’t give up a full time salary, so I’m switching from my job in aviation to become a surgical tech - this way, I can gain clinical experience, LOR’s, volunteer opportunities, network, etc. With...

Hi all, 1.) In my undergrad I unfortunately got a C- in orgo 1 with lab, but received a A- in orgo 2 with lab the following semester. Would this orgo 2 with lab potentially fulfill the minimum "C" grade required in prerequisites for most MD schools? (I know every school is probably different...

To anyone who has filled out the UMKC Prerequisite courses on the AADSAS app, what did you guys do when they asked for each class and lab separately if you had courses that had lab joined with them? For example, they're asking for Anatomy, then Anatomy Lab separately. I took Anatomy w/ Lab...

The list is still being updated. Anything with an asterisk has information attached (i.e. no labs accepted, or resident of the state, etc..) everything else with a yes accepts but cautions against it and would like to see a very strong science and clinical background. Hope this helps everyone...

Hey all, So my question is what schools are you aware of that will allow applications from prospective students that have more then 2 prerequisite classes outstanding? I am switching careers (BS and MS in Environmental Studies) and I am currently taking the prerequisite courses. I am...

Hi, everyone! I'm planning to take English 90 - Shakespeare at UCLA for Summer 2018. Do you guys think this will count towards the English requirement medical schools have?

Hi, everyone! I just got into a two-year postbac program (USC) that will allow me to take my science prereqs (foreign degree holder here). However, in order to open up my application pool for med school, I've decided to take a couple more GEs to boost my total credit hours to 60. I'm currently...

I'm in a bit of a tight spot. I got less than a C in a pre-requisite course. It was a course with an integrated lab on the semester system. To avoid limiting my options, I retook the lecture portion of this same course on the quarter system and did well. Now I'm deciding whether or not to...

Hello, So, I'm graduating from Univ of Florida with a bachelors degree in women's studies, and after I just realized I want to become a doctor. I want to take all of the prerequisites at Santa Fe college here in Gainesville. I'm worried about admission for a few reasons. I'd love if maybe...

Hi everyone, I'm planning to take the OAT in the spring or summer of next year and was wondering, how much anatomy and/or physiology is on the OAT? Human Physiology is one of the hardest biology courses at my school, so I was wondering if it's worth it to try and take that class or if I will be...

I am applying to dental schools in June. For many schools I have most of the prereqs completed, but not all. I am missing Physics II and Microbiology. While I see on many websites that prereqs need to be completed by matriculation, will not having them complete at application cause my...

Hi all. I'm finishing up a post bac program at a university on the semester system. Right before starting, I took a 4 unit chemistry course at a UC extension school which uses the quarter system. My post bac school considers this equivalent to their gen chem 1, and allowed me to move on to Gen...

Is anyone aware of Dental Schools that do not require biochem as a prerequisite?!

This might be a really dumb question but do I need every prerequisite class that a school asks for? I'm applying to St Augustine San Marcos but I have never taken a Medical Terminology class. Do I still apply even though I haven't taken that prerequisite or should I not even apply?

Hello! I went to a quarter system undergraduate school and my general biology courses were split into 3 courses. I unfortunately did not do that well in them and received C's. I retook biology at a community college but it was one general biology course with a lab and ended up with an A. The...

I'm looking at Dental as an option of a career (75 hours shadow time so far, and many to come), specifically looking at UNLV as an option to apply at. Does anyone know the rates at which people get into UNLV without a degree? I have about 50 credits so far, and still need to take "Gen Chem...

Does anyone know the list of schools that don't accept Community college credits? I wanted to take couple courses at a cc now that I have graduated from a 4 year university such as Anatomy and Physiology I&II?

Hi All, I am very new here and need a little help organizing my class schedule. I was originally going the PA route and through shadowing, volunteering and knowing what I'd like to do a bit more, I have decided (pretty recently) to shift gears towards med school. I would still like to fit in all...

Hi. So I'm freaking out a little bit. I recently logged into OTCAS and saw that two of my schools didn't have checkmarks next to them. When I searched further, I saw that my statistics course was missing from them. Has this happened to anyone? Should I call them? I really don't know what to do.

So, a few of the programs I am applying to require a developmental psychology course, often stating that is has to cover the entire lifespan! I am a Human Development minor so I have taken a ton of Human Development and Family Studies courses that cover development across the lifespan and at...

Hey all. I'm applying to Texas schools via TMSDAS for entry in Fall of 2018. I have one lingering requirement left: Ochem 2 lab. It normally wouldn't be a big deal, but because I travel a lot for work (M-Th) I've been unable to take the lab (as I would miss out on labs which I'm assuming is a...

Hello! I was wondering if anyone applying for Nova and FIU's occupational therapy programs knows whether or not they accept IB/AP credit for some of their prerequisite courses. For FIU, it's not a huge deal if they don't because the only course I would need to take in place of the credit is...

Does anyone know if it is possible to take a pharmacy prerequisite at the same time as you start the fall semester for your first year of pharmacy school?

Hi everyone, so I am a little confused about the PTCAS gpa system. I submitted a few apps, and had my coursework verified, and they calculated the gpas. There is no prereq gpa, and it's kind of worrying me because I know my prereq gpa is a lot higher than my cumulative science, overall, etc. Is...

I'm not majorly concerned about any of the other med school prerequisites....but calculus scares the **** out of me. I've successfully avoided math entirely unto this point. Now I'm in an algebra class, and that's fine, I'm getting an A; but I honestly think that I'm not capable of going up to...

Hi! Welcome to your UCBX pep talk! If you're like me, you're midway through your biochem course thinking "HM, I wonder what I should expect for the final..." So you turn to google or SDN, and what you find might hit your stomach like a sack of bricks. For me, this was real, mind consuming fear...

So I just graduated from a 4-year university with a 3.75 GPA and a B.S. in psychology. I have recently found an interest in dentistry and was looking to take all the science prerequisite classes at a community college. That being said, will taking those classes at a community college be...

Hey guys! I'm applying this upcoming cycle and looking to take Animal Nutrition for NCSU's prereq requirements. I was wondering if anyone had advice on which school to the take the course online through (and cheapest?). I've heard good things about Purdue, but also seems to be on the pricier...

So I didn't see a thread like this in the search, I figured it would be useful to have a thread where everyone can post their advice, experiences, tips, do's and don'ts for finding veterinary experience and animal experience. I know that personally, I came into this vet-med thing a bit late...

Soooo I am currently enrolled in Animal Nutrition through OkState. I intended to complete it as part of my UF prerequisite coursework, but they rejected me during this cycle. Since I have not sent in the first assignment yet, I can still get a refund for the course and get my money back. I just...
