Does that sound doable? I know it's a tough load but I'll just be finishing MCAT the summer before so I'll know my O-chem and some of biochem.
Any advice?
Thanks!

Hey, I just want to point out that not everyone here goes to UCLA so they won't know what the classes are. For instance, I saw your post and thought you had a stroke while typing the thread title until I googled "UCLA 153a" and saw that it was biochemistry. Most people won't have the patience nor care to go through and google each class. As an example, I'm not googling the other two classes.
That said, the best advice for those classes is to find out what the teachers for those specific classes are like. Biochem for me was a 400 level class in which I essentially memorized a good chunk of the metabolic pathway diagram, so I doubt my experience is relevant to yours.
Find upperclassman and ask them about it. They'll be your best metric for figuring out how tough it'll be. O-chem is difficult depending also on your way of thinking. I didn't have a hard time learning reactions, but struggled ass learning spectroscopy. To this day I can't read an NMR for the life of me. The rest of my class had the opposite problem.
Whoops, sorry about that! Meant to specify this is for UCLA kids.
