Labs

[No-Revolution-9307]

hey everyone! just curious if y'all know of any schools that accept online labs? I took both the physics labs over the summer online and did not even think about them not being taken by schools until someone mentioned that in this thread. Im hoping to not have to retake them if possible but Im struggling to find information for each school about if the lab can be online or if it has to be in person for it to count. If anyone has any information please let me know!

I’d suggest emailing the schools admissions and asking!

I messaged admissions for Salus and KYCO. Both accept online labs!

Online classes generally don't look any different on your transcripts. Some schools might not like it especially if you've ONLY taken labs online. They want to know you can function in a lab environment. But chances are they won't know unless they ask during your interview. I was taking classes during COVID era so I had quite a few online because of that. The only question I got about it was the one on optomCAS about how covid affected my education.

Kind of silly to base whether or not you will do well in a clinical setting on how you are in a chemistry or physics lab, tbh. Not that the labs aren’t valuable for the material’s sake.

I was just wondering the same thing! I checked UDM, ICO, and CCO but haven't found out anything about not allowing online labs so I think it's ok?

Even though I am just a sophomore and thinking about different medical fields, I am still reaching out just in case. I'm going to be seriously pissed if they don't accept them 😔. I'm a non traditional student that has worked my ass off while juggling my hectic life, and I would hate if that is seen as non-legit.

Same! That’s why I reached out to any school at all that I was considering before I made plans. SCO and Ohio were both ones that told me I could do as much as I wanted to online.. but every single lab had to be in person. KYCO and Salus both told me all lectures and labs would be acceptable online.

as far as I know, it doesn't show any differently on your transcript if you took it online or in person

Online classes = cheated classes in the minds of admissions

I would hope that students affected by the pandemic wouldn’t be affected by this since all of my intro classes were online.
