BA KIP Track With Gap Year

Successfully completing the required number of courses to be able to sit for the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) is a daunting process and requires careful planning. The course matrix below is intended to assist you in the planning process if you plan to apply to enter medical school in the fall following graduation.

Recommendations for the first year include every course you will take in that year at Hanover College; beyond that, the matrix lists only courses required to keep you on track to take the MCAT, so that you will be afforded the greatest amount of flexibility to allow your academic interests to guide your decisions. For sophomore year and thereafter, we recommend that you work with an HBSP advisor or your major advisor to assist you in the planning process.
