As long as you have taken the core science requirements before you matriculate, you'll be fine. This means that you could take them senior year and be fine; however, it's somewhat inadvisable to do so. Most students take the MCAT in the spring of their junior year (this way you're not completely screwed if you need to take it again in August before your senior year), and it's a really good idea to have completed the science requirements you listed (and additional science courses in biochem, human physiology, and genetics--though this isn't absolutely essential, just advisable) before you take the MCAT. You can either work with your advisor to figure out a plan that allows you to complete the coursework in a reasonable manner or figure one out on your own. It's great to plan ahead and think about the logistics of things--as you are obviously doing. Good luck! Yes, you typically apply during the summer before your senior year.

Make sure you have all the boxes checked before applying because admission is going to be competitive. Good Luck Yes it will be a problem if you do not have teh pre-reqs done.

Your advisor in college usually sends this to whatever med school you're applying to. As long as you'll have them done before you actually begin ATTENDING the medical school, it should be okay. In short, it won't be a problem. Just try to keep your GPA up!
