rlp14 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Right now I have a list of about 6 schools that I will be applying to where I either have the prereqs completed, or 1 or 2 to be completed. However, there is a couple of schools I really want to apply to where I would have 3 outstanding classes. Is it worth applying to those, or is it not even worth it? Has anyone here been accepted to schools where they had 3+ classes outstanding? Thanks guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
february Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I had more than 3 outstanding at the time of the application (but was progressing in my classes on time to only have 2 outstanding the semester prior to enrollment). I took a chance, and glad I did! I was granted an interview at my top choice school based on a strong academic record and experience up until then. And yes, I was accepted. I urge you to do the same, as long as you meet the max # of outstanding pre-reqs your programs allow in the semester prior to starting PA school.

rlp14 Posted March 5, 2012 Author Share Posted March 5, 2012 That is really good to know, seems that it would be a good idea to give it a try, thanks for sharing. Does anyone else have any input/experiences? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crystaltide Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 There are other threads talking about outstanding pre-reqs, so definitely check those out. Make sure you check with each school to see if they even allow 3 outstanding pre-reqs, as some won't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nkechim Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I initially considered waiting a year to apply until I was done with my prereqs but am so glad I didn't! Same as feb, at the time of applying, I had a few courses left - A&P II, Micro, and Orgo. I completed A&P last semester, am currently taking micro, and will take orgo in the summer. that being said, I applied in Sept/Oct and got accepted to a program in Nov. that required all three (under the condition that I complete them before matriculation). The school I eventually decided to attend only requires orgo and strongly suggests A&P, though I've decided to keep on with micro anyway. The fact that I hadn't yet completed those courses never came up except in the acceptance letters that stipulate that I must complete them before school starts. As crystaltide said, check with the programs to make sure they will consider you with outstanding courses, and if so, go for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
