I was accepted for the September semester without a bachelor's degree. I have over 90 hours and I've completed all the important pre-requisites such as : 1 year GBio, 1 year GChem, 1 Year OChem, 1 Year Physics ( all with labs of course) two or more English classes and two or more Math Classes. They encouraged me to finish the degree, but it doesn't appear as though having a bachelor's is a requirement, and plus my school offers a post-bacclaureate professional program where after your first year of professional training (medical, dental, physician's assistant) you will be awarded a bachelor's of science degree if you meet all the gen-ed requirements such as 90 hours and typical junior year standing classes. I may be mistaken, hopefully someone can comment on this, but I was under the impression that St. Chris had a similar policy where they would award a bachelor's degree to students who earned their MD from St. Chris. If they didn't have one already. I wonder if not having a bachelor's would be a problem when it comes to licensing? Hopefully that helps, and thanks for any following input from senior members.

like any new school you need the basic reqs a pulse and ability to pay though it should start getting more competitive there as more grads get licensed and the applicant pool gets better applicants.......

You can complete the O-Chem on campus, I know several people just finishing the o-chem or Physics. Although, the instructor Dr. **** is from Cambridge University and has a high standard.

hello again...

just had another question... i have not had any experience in the medical field of any kind but am planning to do an internship at a hospital for a psychology dept. at my college.... my question is, how impt. it is to have experience in order to get in. also, i will be starting the internship after applying to the school so wont have a recommendation letter by then.

It's not all that important to have medical experience. There are plenty of people in the 6 year program and the 4 year program who don't have medical experience and who are coming from non-science backgrounds. Sure it helps with the material but it won't be a huge setback. Also, the letter of rec isn't all that important, just make sure to mention it during your interview.

Okay is your GPA above 2.5? If it is, you still would be fine for admission without retaking Calculus! Calculus is not required for admission. Also have you done any volunteering? Community service? Anything helps your app.

Cheers.
