alittlelamb Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 if i don't take first year chemistry, does that dastrically reduce my chances at places like mcmaster, western, nosm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehumanmacbook Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 those three schools don't have pre-reqs, so not taking chem is fine. However, go to the other schools you want to apply for and double check that you're ok - for instance, Ottawa needs certain courses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alittlelamb Posted June 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 so in comparison to students who did take it, i wouldn't be put at any disadvantage? like if they looked at the courses i took and saw it was missing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmorelan Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 so in comparison to students who did take it, i wouldn't be put at any disadvantage? like if they looked at the courses i took and saw it was missing? schools don't care about your program so no However the MCAT you will need to take for many will of require to know the material covered in that course and beyond though.

Meez Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 If I were you I would take it just to widen my options, as it's not guaranteed that you'll get into any of those three schools. Plus it should help ALOT when you eventually need to start studying for the MCAT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeDoc Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 Take general chem. Trust me. You will be happy you did. MCAT definitely will be easier to study for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceWayne Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 You're going to have to write the MCAT, so you're going to have to learn everything anyway. Might as well take it and make life easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
