I'd take off columbia and add Louisville

Reason for missing Stony Brook?

Thoughts on UNE?

not necessarily. From the last numbers I saw, Columbia is not that great GPA wise. They seem to be more of a DAT school. If OP destroys the DAT, he'd have a chance

I am going to add Louisville and UNE, thanks guys. TBH I didn't add Stoneybrook for 2 reasons: 1. I heard they have very few seats and are very selective and 2. They require both Calculus and Biochem which I do not have and really don't want to take both of I don't have to.

I think NOVA and LECOM require biochemistry

Yes, I know. I can take Biochemistry, but I don't want to have to take Biochemistry AND Calculus.

I see, I'm on your boat, dude. I have to take physics along with biochem as well next year. Sucks that many schools require it now.

Yeah, it's really annoying. I don't mind taking one but I still need Organic Chem 2, not looking to take those three classes during my gap year.

It's gonna be a pain, but best of luck to you. Being in Orgo II right now, all I can say is it's a different beast compared to Orgo I but if you put in the hours and effort, you should be absolutely fine! GL!

Are you taking the class at a NY school?

 

[yankpak786]

I'm actually trying to see if I can take it at Hofstra or LIU, I've heard it's easier there lol. Only downside is the tuition!
