Would this work? COSC GRE Out

[NonTrad]

Yes, it's not possible, but not generalizable. Plus there are some very important missing details as well as underemphasized points.

One thing missing from the linked story is the person's MCAT scores. I know a doctor who crammed all science prerequisites into a short period of time. I think he had a prior bachelor's degree with uncompetitive grades. His MCAT scores were the highest of anyone I ever met. I strongly suspect the person in the linked story had exceptionally high MCAT scores, which tends to be supported by the claims about doing well on GRE subject exams.

The underemphasized point in the story is that the person did take science courses at a community college. As I've previously posted and provided links to medical school websites, testing out of required science courses is generally not allowed by medical schools.

As far as applying to professional school with GRE credits that don't specify grades or courses, it is likely to be treated as a block of pass/fail hours that don't affect the GPA. Charter Oak is no longer as transparent about GRE credits as they used to be.

I am sure there is more to meets the eye, I just thought the story was... shall we say, interesting..

As to this " As far as applying to professional school with GRE credits that don't specify grades or courses, it is likely to be treated as a block of pass/fail hours that don't affect the GPA. Charter Oak is no longer as transparent about GRE credits as they used to be. "

do you mean the previous policy of just listing credits without subject for GREs is not what they do anymore?

Also, depending on the school you can test out of the intro classes via AP, but then they generally want to see similar hours in higher level coursework
