Strategy99 Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Lets says I am missing full year Orgo for an OOP school, and that is the only prerequisite I am missing. I plan on taking the full year Orgo in the summer after I get accepted. Can I still apply to this school and get an interview? Will it negatively affect my chances at getting an interview / eventual acceptance? Is it okay if I finish the prerequisites (Orgo) in the summer right after I get my acceptance? Thanks all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medtech Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Sorry but the answer is NO, similar to how you can't boost your MCAT or GPA to meet cutoffs after you get an interview or something like that. Cutoff are call that for a reason. The only requirements that can be done after acceptance is getting CPR training which is required by most schools Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardiomegaly Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 No that doesn't work. You could (for some schools, U of A specifically) take orgo in the fall-winter year that you are applying and just show them on your transcript. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most schools want your transcripts showing completed prereqs by May-June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clever Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Applying to med without a prereq would be like asking the hottest girl in class out. You know there is no way she will say yes, but are disappointed when she does anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strategy99 Posted March 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Can someone confirm that this works for American schools ? I made another thread in the American forum and apparently it does. Others here might know more, though.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But having prereqs doesn't make you the hottest guy in class Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
