I took cell phys, histo, and embryo my first semester in the program last Spring I then took med mycology in maymester along with grad seminar. Im currently taking med phys 2 and med micro. Dr. Baldwin will tell you a lot of advice on what he thinks you should take..however, nobody in this program is taking 15 plus hours every fall and spring. You will realize once you here, you have to do whats best for you- that may be taking one 5 hr at at a time with some other 3hr courses. Anybody can take 2 5hrs but the question you should want to know is - How many of them actually make good grades taking the combos? My best advice is that unless you have to graduate in a year, then why rush.. its all about GPA. That's why we are here right? A lot of people try to keep up with the Jones's and take too much only to find out midway in the semester it was a mistake $$ down the drain. Trust me- this is not undergrad. You will have comprehensive Quizzes every week you don't have exams, and comprehensive exams all semester. Therefore, it will require more studying and work than you have done before, But its worth it. Anything with Graves is easy.. Dr. Bourassa is in my opinion the best professor in the program.. All the professors genuinely care and have seen many of us go on to med school, dental school, etc. any questions..just ask
