FAQ’s (source – individual school websites) UF Can I take the prerequisite courses at my local community/junior college? In order to create the most academically competitive application you should take all prerequisite courses at the most competitive bachelor degree granting institution where you can gain entrance. You should try to complete your pre-requisite courses at a four-year institute. FSU Does it make any difference where I take the pre-requisite courses? Can I take them by distance learning? We prefer applicants to take pre-requisite courses in a traditional classroom setting at a four-year college. However, we recognize that this is not always possible, especially for non-traditional applicants, so course credit from a US-accredited institution is acceptable in most cases. Miami It is expected that the major portion of required science courses will be taken at the senior college level. An application that presents only a junior college academic record will not be considered. Most admissions committees feel that there are differences between junior college courses and senior college courses. ... The Miller School of Medicine will accept junior college courses but much prefers that the premed courses be taken at the senior college level. Perhaps a more important question to ask yourself is how these courses are going to prepare you to take the MCAT and to survive in medical school.

UCF USF FAU Can I take all of my premed courses at a junior college? In order to create the most academically competitive application you should take all prerequisite courses at the most competitive bachelor degree granting institution where you can gain entrance. You should take your pre-requisite courses from your degree granting institution. However, if you started your academic career at a junior college those courses are acceptable for completion of the pre-requisites. In this case you are encouraged to take additional science courses at a bachelor degree granting institution. FAU Online courses will be considered on a case-by-case basis and preference will be given to applicants who have done the majority of their preparation at the senior college level. UCF  Will online course work be considered in the application process for the UCF M.D. Program? We prefer course work based on in-residence classroom participation. In certain circumstances we may honor a limited amount of online course work usually not major related and not M.D. Program required. Will online degrees be considered in the application process for the UCF M.D. Program? We highly value classroom interaction and therefore will not honor fully online degree programs for admission into the M.D. Program.

Take home thoughts Admission to professional healthcare programs is extremely competitive UF undergrads are highly valued by schools throughout the U.S. UF is a top feeder school for all healthcare related professional schools in the U.S. Advising students who wish to apply to healthcare related professional graduate schools/programs is very individualized – not a one size fits all Incoming students may have an idea of what they want to pursue and where they want to attend but this changes frequently throughout undergraduate preparation. Professional schools are not consistent regarding acceptance of online, AP/IB, or community/state earned credits for pre-requisite courses. Some professional schools/programs may accept online or CC/state pre-reqs but this may still diminish an applicant’s competitiveness Once admitted to their home institution (university where they plan to earn their bachelor degree) , taking pre-reqs at another institution may diminish competitiveness

PaCE (Pre-Health) Encourage and empower students to complete the most competitive application: 1. Students who will transition after one year (depending on remaining major requirements, should be able to complete pre-health pre-reqs after transitioning) Encourage students to complete MAC1147 & CHM1025 through UF Online (MAC1147 & CHM1025) Encourage waiting on other pre-reqs; If taken while in PaCE, encourage university level for most professions SYG2000 PSY2012 Other non-science major, college, university requirements 2. Students who will transition after two years or need courses to meet transition requirement for major: Encourage pre-reqs at a university level institution
