Pre reqs in shorter time

Look into schools that go by quarters instead of semesters.

I know Mount Saint Mary's goes by quarters. All community colleges that I know of in CA go by semesters.

You could also look into taking multiple prerequisites in one semester. I took anatomy and chemistry (a requirement for microbiology in my school) in one semester along with some general education classes. The next semester I took physiology and microbiology.

I went to East LA College and did their trifecta option. You get anatomy, physio, and micro done in one semester. Each class is 5 weeks long. I know it's pretty popular now and a friend of mine ended up being #100 on the waiting list for fall of 2012. It's definitely worth doing though.

I've never heard of this. It definitely sounds appealing, but I'm assuming it's very hard to get into. 3 science courses in a matter of 15 weeks sound quite intimidating though. How did you do? Are these courses transferable to other schools?

I got a B in anatomy, and A's in micro and physio. I was able to transfer them to CSULB, and that's where I'm starting this coming spring.

ELAC is a LACCD campus - all the credits from there are transferable to most schools, in and out of California ~ with the exception of UNLV (but that's another thread).

Wow, that's super cool ~ that's like taking Bio 20 (Anat/Physio) and micro at the same time, minus a week.

LACCD is the best system, man I tell ya!
