It's really awesome, too, because part of the class is volunteering at a clinic that serves mainly Spanish-speaking people.

You would think that living in New Mexico we would have that course. Nope.

If I get accepted this year I will find something this summer, somewhere.

Paleobiology & Lab
Physiological Psychology
Abnormal Psychology
Cognitive Psychology

Maybe that will make studying for the MCAT easier

Medical biochemistry
English literature

Mcat prep on my own

Organic Chemistry w/ Lab
General Physics w/ lab
Stats
Child Development

Freshman:

Organic Chemistry I with Lab (4)
Calculus I (4)
English 101 (3)
Honors 101 (3)
Introduction to Art (3)
Swimming (1)
Church, required (.5)

This is the schedule I'm projected to have after they take all my AP credit, which amounted to 21 hours. So, by technicality, I'm almost a sophomore. =D

Physics (1/2)
Organic Chemistry (1/2)
Human Anatomy and Physiology (3/3)
Introduction to Criminal Justice (elective)
Introduction to Computer Information Systems (elective)
Computerized Business Applications (elective)

Just trying to help, but you do know that most medical colleges frown upon AP credit-waived courses? So, considering that you're going into orgo already, that means you've waived gen. chem 1&2, correct?

Wouldn't it be fine if the person ended up taking inorganic I+II anyways since those courses can replace the pre-req gen chem I/II

This. Most schools seem to be OK with taking higher level substitutes.

That's only assuming they'll be taking inorganic 1&2. Just thought I'd shed some light to him/her if they weren't aware!

Hello! I'm a she, just for reference.

I'm a biochemistry major, and as a requirement for the major, I need to take Quantitative Analysis, Physical Chemistry, and Biochemistry as well. Because of my AP credit, I have the space to place Inorganic Chemistry in it if I have to, albeit it's only a semester at my institution.

Those will probably be enough, right?

Advanced Inorganic Chemistry
Human Anatomy w/ Lab
Environmental Chemistry/Genetics/Immunology w/ Lab (depends on which class I get into )
19th/20th Century Thought
Leadership Seminar for RAs

We don't do the credit hour system in my school, but I think all these add up to 22 credit hours.

Ochem II (3 credits)
Ochem lab (2 credits)
Physics II (4 credits)
History of Medicine (3 credits)

Yeah it will be but I did a similar semester before.

College Physics 1 = 4
Organic 1 = 4
Calc II = 5
Zoo. Comp. Anatomy = 4
Composition II = 2

I never understood the point of these threads.

Why is a junior taking intro to engineering?

Decided to change my major. Yeah it's kinda late, who cares I'm young.

Originally Posted by Xenops

Organic Chemistry 1
Organic Chemistry lab
Biochemistry 1 (yeah I know...)
Genetic Engineering
Elementary Japanese 1

16 credits, Junior (sort of).

"Organic Chemistry as a Second Language" is a LIFE SAVING book! I love it.

why biochem AND orgo simultaneously?! just curious. good luck.

I'm a rising sophomore! I'll be taking:
Ochem I
Physics (for life sciences) I &Lab
Comparative Anatomy &Lab
Calc II (yuck!)
History of the Holocaust
18credits
Biology major (might switch to biomolecular science. only thing holding me back is calc-based physics. still thinking about it so that might change from here til August 25th.)

Seems reasonable.

I am hoping there is going to be ALOT of overlap in these classes and it's going to be an "easy" term? Anyone?

senior year wow how did THAT happen.

CS: hypermedia and the web
BIO: intro to neuroscience
BIO/CS: Computational biology tools
and Physics 3 lab which i forgot to take when i took Physics 3 lecture

i hope you really like dicks if you enroll in dicks 101. sperm development takes 72 days, but this fact is irrelevant to your course!

So, why are so many of you taking more credits than the typical full time student? What's the rush?

Typically, first year students tend to underestimate the rigor of courses, so they overload themselves, thinking that more courses look better.

For me, I know my high school has prepared me well, so it's not rigor that I'm concerned with. I'm just taking more than I need, for the flexibility of dropping classes later. If I don't like a class, I can drop it and still remain full time, rather than find another one to sign up for, at a possibly inconvenient time.

Rising 3rd year with senior standing

Biomechanics I - 4 units
Sensory Motor Systems - 4 units
Biomed Signal Systems - 4 units
The Greek Gods - 4 units
Methods and Applications of Small Group Instruction - 4 units

on top of the usual ec's as well

I might just die this quarter...

I'm guessing that's also directed at me.... and not just the college kids.

The handbook I was originally sent by my department had the one year schedule as a sort of "standard," and then mentioned if an extra semester was needed you could take it. By the time I wanted to sit down and work out my schedule with my advisor and they told me most people do go the year and a half, I was already set on getting it done in a year because I wanted to go ahead and apply to medical school this year. It has been done in a year before so we'll see how things go. Otherwise, I'll be looking forward to maybe taking a couple of more classes in the fall and spring of next year and getting a lab job.

Biochemistry
Immunology
Complementary and Integrative Medicine
Fiction Writing

I am a senior and a biochemistry and public health double major.

Fall 2012 schedule

Cell bio (3)
Physics 1 (4)
Communications class (3, who the hell knows why my school requires 2 comm classes for bio majors)
Stats (3)

Only could get in to 13 credits thanks to being a transfer student. I wanted to take organic chem, but the class was already full by the time I registered. *sigh* have to wait another summer before taking the MCAT. Was hoping to do it this summer, but now I'll have to wait till the summer I'm applying. God knows that will be fun!

Well played. Resident schedule >> premed schedule, but I'm still in premed. Hopefully, I'll enjoy some interesting action in the future.

Also, what's up with most premeds taking (or minoring) psychology/sociology? Required for schools?

Intro classes are a joke, and we need to challenge ourselves because we're masochists.

Orgo 1 + lab

Physics 1 + lab

Econ 101.

It could have to do with the new mcat.
