[QUOTE="Choppy, post: 5534352, member: 127425"] If you do not take the prerequisite courses for medical school you are crossing that option off the list for sure. So if you want it to be an option at all you have to figure out how to get those courses in. In addition to changing your major or extending your current program, another option may be to take summer school courses. I know this isn't ideal, because that's often when students work to earn the money to attend school, but it might be something worth considering. The other thing to keep in mind is to be realistic about your chances for medical school. Look up the statistics on GPA and MCAT scores for acceptances at the schools you're interested in attending. I think in most cases unless you're north of a 3.5 GPA your odds are pretty dicey. If you're rocking a 4.0 and fairly confident you'll do very well on the MCAT and have your ducks lined up for the other factors that medical schools factor in (interview skills, volunteer experience, etc.) then what's an extra year of undergrad?
