Are there any drawbacks to taking pre-med courses online?
Completing your premed coursework online could have several drawbacks. First, the medical schools to which you apply may reject the classes. Some schools may prefer that students complete their core pre-med classes in a traditional learning environment. Secondly, you might miss out on valuable hands-on experiences in the classroom and lab. For example, performing dissections on an actual animal in anatomy and physiology may prepare you better for med school than a virtual dissection in an online lab.
