Where should I go to get pre-med counseling?

<p>What I mean is, who would know the most about it? (murphy counselors, career center, counselors for my major (phy sci), etc.)</p>

<p>Also, do you guys know if I’m supposed to complete all the pre-med requirements before applying to med school?</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure that all the requirements should be completed. Would you have been able to get into college without taking the SAT or ACT?</p>

<p>^^ That analogy fails. You can certainly get into college without finishing your A-G’s.</p>

<p>Back to the OP: Simple answer… No. You just need to do them before matriculation.</p>

<p>Really? They would allow that? Or does it just hinder your chances then?</p>

<p>^Yeah, I heard some people hold off on biochem until their senior year to avoid it from hurting GPA or something similar.</p>

<p>I think in this case, the only thing it would hurt would be your MCAT scores – obv. taking more related classes (eg. biochem, chem 14cl, etc., phy sci classes), although not necessary for the MCAT, could give you a better MCAT score, which affects med school admissions.</p>

<p>The counselors in Young Hall are great for premed counseling</p>
