Corrected entry: Skylar has already been admitted to Stanford Med when the movie takes place. However, there are several references to the fact that Skylar is taking organic chemistry (O-Chem). Since O-Chem is a requirement for most undergraduate pre-med courses, it is unrealistic for her to be taking it in the last semester of her undergrad career. Additionally, despite the fact that O-chem isn't required for the MCAT, it is unlikely that a top school like Stanford would accept her without seeing her O-Chem grades.

Correction: When I was in college, I had a friend who got accepted into Johns Hopkins (even more prestigious) while currently taking o-chem. Plus it could have been a graduate level organic class.
