UoUTheGrad Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Hi guys, I'm in a predicament in which I have to take 3 summer classes Organic Chemistry 1 and 2 as well as Biochemistry (pre-reqs) for graduation purposes. Will it affect me if I take them in a CC? I have to because most 4 years offering the course have time constraints, and I won't be able to take all 3. I need a second opinion thank you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SrTaM Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Yikes. Most PA programs are fine with you taking them at Community Colleges, but keep in mind those are all 3 tough classes and summer sessions are short/more condensed. If you can take one of them later your GPA might thank you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTATC Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Double check with the specific programs you want to apply to. Most programs that I have seen do not prefer 4 year over cc, but there are some that do. Also double check that the specific courses themselves will meet requirements (some schools will specify that it must not be an intro course, must require certain pre-reqs, must include certain topics, etc.). As long as your programs will accept the courses, you are good to go. Many students take accelerated courses and are not hindered by it. If you are able to pull it off and do well in them, taking difficult classes in an accelerated format may help you show that you are ready for the heavy course-load of PA school. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
