*These examples can apply not only to most medical schools, but also to schools of osteopathy, podiatry,
        dentistry and optometry.
*Comments on the 3 + 1 accelerated undergraduate premedical curriculum.
        A very demanding curriculum that could lead to discouragement and failure.
        It provides very little time for extracurricular activities and enrichment.
        Very few medical schools accept students with only 3 years of college.
        It works best for students with SATs above 1400 and considerable AP credit in science & math.
*Try to complete CHM 11,12,21,22, BGY 11,30, and PHY 11& 12 before you take the MCAT near the end of your
        Junior year.
*ENG 11 should be taken in the first year of college.
*For some premedical students it is not best to take foreign language in the freshman year, but there are
        trade-offs.
*MTH 12 may be needed by some premedical students and not by others.
        Manditory for students planning on applying to medical schools like Duke that require 2 calculus courses.
        Manditory for students majoring in Chemistry, Math or Physics.
        Recommended but not required to take Physics 12 (calculus based Physics).
        For some premedical students needing more than 4 sem.hours of Math, Mth 30 (Statistics) is a viable option.
        For some premedical students needing more than 4 sem.hours of Math, Mth 30 (Statistics) is a viable option.
*Do not use your three Pass/Fail options your general education requirements, your major, and your med school
        prerequisites.

        MCAT (Medical College Admissions Test).
