Hello all,
I need a little advice.
I am in the second semester of my second year in college. I was a biology major and completed my year of biology and general chemistry. I took organic I last semester but I failed it. I realize that I can retake it next fall followed by Orgo II the following semester. I was thinking of taking physics I and II over the sumer(algebra based), so it wouldn't be so tough with orgo. I go to a school that makes it mandatory to be a Bio or Biochem major to be in the pre-med program(which regulates all letters of rec from science profs). I should be taking the MCAT next spring but I don't see this happening. I gotta finish 2 semesters of Physics, 2 semesters of Organic and I changed my major so I can't ignore my psychology classes. And I definitely want to take Micrbiology and Biochem because I was told by my pre-professional advisors that early on that medical schools won't even look at you without them. I made B's in the pre-recs I took already, so I gotta proove to them I can do something other than the basics right? These upper div classes are also needed to takle the MCAT also from what I heard. I apologize if this isn't that coherent but my back is against the wall here. I feel overwhelmed at all of the stuff that needs to be done. Any advice at all would help me cope a little now.
I only plan on applying to Osteo schools. I really love the philosphy and I plan on primary care. I just think it's best for me.
