roundabout Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 I am applying this cycle and am at somewhat of a crossroads. I have completed the majority of prereqs for the schools I will be applying to, however, I still need to take Orgo1,Biochem and Genetics for a couple schools. With that being said I also have 3 classes to complete my Bachelors which I planned to complete this summer along with Orgo1. Not all of the schools that I am applying to require the orgo1, biochem, and genetics, but I wanted to show that I can take and pass these higher level sciences. So, should I hold off on my classes for completing my degree and take the prereq courses so that they can be included in my CASPA app or leave them as in progress/planned courses? My degree is in business so I don't have a ton of science classes included in my degree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potatolife Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 There are some holes in your explanation. It depends what the deadline is for the schools who do require those 3 extra science classes, if they let you have in-progress courses, if they're rolling admissions, etc. I don't recommend taking 3 difficult science courses the summer you apply. The application process is long and takes a lot of time. I would say at least take 1 science class this summer. I still need more information to give you a proper answer though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roundabout Posted March 20, 2019 Author Share Posted March 20, 2019 The deadlines are different for all the schools. The majority of them have applications ending between September-December, so there is no consistency in that regard. Some of them have rolling admissions and some do not. Some allow prereqs to be outstanding and all of them require a bachelors to be completed prior to Dec 31. I am leaning towards finishing my degree and taking Orgo1 in the summer term while I begin filling out applications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
