<p>Do see the fallacy in this… there is “a” doctor who did this - not many who are applying who are finding this works well. We don’t even know when this person applied or what their specific circumstances were. For any rule, there are exceptions. Do you want to HAVE to be the exception or give yourself better odds?</p>
<p>When we heard from med school admissions (group sessions) they all said cc credits (pre-reqs) were a nick on an application when the student knew they wanted med school the reason being that those courses are perceived as easier and the students tend to do so to take the easy route (not a character trait they like seeing). They are not a fatal flaw, but a nick. They also said they were more lenient on those who decided later in the process to do med school and had already done cc courses.</p>
<p>It could be worth it for you to attend some med school admission days. Those we attended were for undergrad students interested in med school (each college had both), but they had med school admissions folks there to answer questions. We did two private and one public. They pretty much all said the same thing…</p>
