There is no deadline if you apply and have everything ready at least 3-4 weeks before the wished start date.

BUT, I don't know if I should do this because then they could REJECT me since I haven't taken Organic 1 and 2, nor the MCAT.
Do not apply until you have everything completed or at least within one semester of finishing. There is no secrets on what you would be "missing"; if you have all the prerequesites, money to pay and mcat taken, you should get in. As stated before, the rest is up to you.

3.) If I get admitted for the January semester, can I start in August if I change my mind? If so, how can I tell the school that I wish to change my starting date?
yes, you can change your start date up to one year. After that you need to send a new application fee ($75)and a new administration fee ($1500). You need to call your admissions officer and tell them about the deferral. It is very simple. One thing is that if you dont finish your prereqs and mcat, UAG will no take you in. The mcat that they ask is at least 24 if weak on areas like GPA and EC's or less depending on how strong your GPA and EC's are. I still havent been able to see a "rejected" student but I have noticed that everybody has completed a degree, prereqs, mcat and more so I dont think the UAG will accept you without the general requirements completed. UAG has gone through couple of changes in the last 2 years and the requirements will be higher according to the "force" exerted on the UAG by the Feds lately. The UAG needs to increase % passing of USMLE so it is expected to accept stronger applicants and change a "few" nonsensical practices.

Thanx!

Who knows what is going to happen in the future. Another thing is that you also have the dollar deflating in the future years and that can lead to your col increase in mexico.
