so i start my third pack of birth control (alesse) on monday March 19th
but my problem is that i cant get a doctors appointment until wedesday.
will affect me in anyway if i start my new pack on wednesday
and i dont mind using protection for the next two weeks because i really dont want to switch brands
or do i go to a walk in clinic and use whatever they give me till its done and go back to my other brands (alesse) Any help would be appreciated!

I think your best bet is to get to a walk-in clinic and get whatever you can, take it for the full pack, go through the placebo week, and then start your next pack of Alesse.
The problem with not taking anything between Monday-Wednesday is that you'll probably start a withdrawal bleed and it will throw off your cycle. That being said, once you start a brand of pills, any brand, it's best to finish that pack before switching again. Different pills tend to react differently and can also throw off your cycle.
So...that's my best advice, if you want to try to avoid a lot of potential for breakthrough bleeding and other stuff.

No problem, I hope this will help you have fewer problems with the interim until you get back on Alesse.
