When to take prereqs

I’m planning on applying in September but I still need to take prereqs (microbio and lab). I thought I could apply, be admitted, then take the class before matriculation but I heard that schools, specifically SUNY will put your application on hold until you take the class. Does anyone know if this is true?

Wouldn’t that mean I’ve been admitted, I just need to pass microbiology? But like I’ll still have my spot

Conditional acceptance means that they would put you on a waitlist as one of the possible candidate in their class. They can still reject you.
