TL;DR: Is taking Orgo over the summer realistic and looked upon well by admissions? Does starting in the spring at a community college put me behind? Could I take the DAT in the summer of Junior year (Junior year not being complete) and still be competitive, or does my spring start already make...

So I am in a community college and I am hoping to transfer May 2020. Next semester, I am schedule to take Physics 4A (calculus based), Chem 1B, Botany (Bio), and Calculus 3B (calcu 2). Also, possibly a general ed course that is worth 3 credits too. All the sciences have a lab. I am a freshmen...
Hello! I'm an incoming freshman and I was wondering how college placement tests work and do they affect your science GPA.
Backround:

Now depending on my...

One of my top pharmacy schools that I'm applying to says that it's mandatory to complete all pre-requisites by the time you complete your undergrad with a C or better. I received a C- in Calculus I, one of the pre-reqs, but I'm not sure how strictly schools follow that rule. I don't have time to...
