joshto Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 I may drop Organic II and was wondering if Organic I + Biochem (both with labs) will suffice the one year organic chem requisite that most american med schools have? How do american med schools view having one semester with less than a full course-load (i.e. 4 courses as opposed to 5)? If I do decide to re-take it in the summer after my 4th year, will med schools (the ones who require full year of organic chem) not accept my application considering that I would be applying before I actually have completed the 2nd half of the full year organic chem?

KennethToronto Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 Err...you would be better off checking out the websites of the schools you're interested in. It's not like Canada where there's 10 or so medical schools...there are 150+ allopathic medical schools in the US, each with widely varying policies on everything from LOR requirements to prereqs.

Jochi1543 Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 I've heard of 2 or 3 schools where Biochem can count for Orgo II, but that's about it. I don't remember which ones. But the overwhelming majority want you to take Orgo II. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most US schools begin in June/July. Unless you finish your course before that time, I don't think you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

July/August, actually...I think Meharry is the only one that starts in June (June 19th or something of that nature). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
