Hello,
This is my first time actually posting on this site after numerous times googling some of my pre-med questions to only be led here where I typically read some great answers. I am currently a sophomore at University of Michigan on the pre-med track and within the next few weeks plan on declaring Biology as my major. I am currently taking orgo 1 this fall 2014 semester and have some questions…
1. I can take orgo 2 in the Winter semester, but would like to spend more time on it and was thinking of taking it in the spring/summer because currently I have other time demanding classes and can't spend as much time in my orgo 1 class as I would like and winter semester I will also have other time demanding classes. I heard it is looked down upon by med school admissions if you take orgo 1 or 2 over the spring/summer? Also I am kind of worried about orgo because I have heard med schools place huge emphasis on this classes grade in particular?
2. Also I know research is great for medical school, but I have not done any as of yet, so would that be better recommended to do over the spring/summer instead of taking orgo 2 in the spring and another class in the summer?
- I am attempting to be a well-rounded individual
3. Also how big do you believe clubs are for medical school applications?
4. Lastly, is a B in orgo 1 bad?
I aspire to attend the U of M's Medical School! I know I also need to start studying for the mcats soon as well. Any input would greatly be appreciated.
Thanks so much!
