I don't see why you can't take Org Chem 2 in Summer school. If you're already able to balance work, family, school...etc. why is an Org Chem 2 Summer school course such a scary option? Just curious.

I have heard some positives from students who came into Premed 4 for a semester and then transitioned into Med 1. But mostly it has to do with getting used to living in Antigua and having a few less things to worry about when entering Med 1 (is my shower working, where can I get a good cup of coffee, is that goat going to bite me?...etc.)

You can always apply for Premed in Sept 2008 and if you are accepted and decide you really want to see the lights at Saks one more time request a deferral for Jan 2009. The Admissions Committee will be able to revisit your file for Placement into Med 1 but only after your Org Chem 2 grades is posted/submitted on a new transcript.
