<p>It’s not a rule to have it finished within 3 years, but you will need to know all the stuff covered in those classes by the end of your junior year to be prepared for the MCAT. It just makes sense to have college training in all those courses before you attempt the MCAT which is why I said having it finished within 3 years is what he/she should be shooting for. </p>
<p>I’d suggest taking Chemistry freshman year as well. It’s pretty much a rite of passage for freshman in my opinion and a lot of freshman go through it. I remember when I was a freshman and almost my entire hall was studying at the same time before the test and we walked over in groups for the late night test (started at 7pm in Stevenson). It was actually kind of fun because so many people were going through the same thing together, ah nostalgia, mastering chemistry sucked though, but you’ll learn more about that when you get here.</p>
