Hey everyone! I'm a junior & am planning on applying for medical school this year. My college runs on a quarter system (4 in 1 year), with each student usually taking 3 (or 1/2 more) classes each quarter. I'm currently in the 3rd quarter of my Junior year and I have the possibility of getting into a spring internship, that may or may not span over the summer months as well.
But herein lies my problem - There's no way I can handle a spring internship as well as my studies for the last quarter of this year (approx. 7 weeks from now). I'm taking fairly heavy classes then - most especially, physics 4. I don't do well in the maths (especially if I don't have copious amounts of time to study for those kinds of classes). So, here's my question - I've taken Physics 1 + 2, and I need one more physics+lab class (physics 4) in order to fulfill requirements for medical school. Am I allowed to apply for medical school without taking ALL of the pre-reqs, with the stipulation that I will take the necessary classes my senior year (prior to med school). I have taken all of my other pre-req courses, and only need physics 4 to complete them.
I really would like the opportunity to participate in the internship, but am not sure if I would be forfeiting my chance at medical school by moving physics 4 to my senior year at college. Has anyone run across this situation before? Thanks in advance!
