Chem + Math or Chem + Econ this semester?

Debating whether to double up my class schedule this Fall...

I am currently enrolled in Introductory Chemistry but would like to possibly add one more class so that I'm not still taking year round pre-reqs when I'm 40 (hehe which is 9 years from now!). My choice is either Intro Algebra (offered online) or Economics. I work a high-stress fulltime job, so I don't want to load my plate beyond do-ability, but would like you guys' opinion: Chem + math (to get the ball rolling) or Chem + Econ. Or just Chem?

If I were in your position where I could only take two classes a semester, I would try to knock out the classes that are in a progression, meaning classes like Chemistry I and then Chemistry 2, Biology I and Biology II, English I and English II, Precalculus Algebra, Precalculus Trigonometry. That way towards the end your not stressed out and you can breeze through the non-science classes without the hassle. Just my 2 cents...or 1 cent LOL

All I have left are math and science hehe. 😛 I have completed all of my Lib Arts with my current Bachelors. So, I guess I am in Hell for the time being?

Join the club, all I have left is science and math classes too because some were done in my degree and the rest I finished this summer LOL...I'm taking Organic I w/Lab, Biology II w/Lab and Calculus I this fall so I'm almost at the end of the tunnel.

retaking sociology and communication(got C's first time around) and taking Microbiology and Human Anatomy & Physiology II(both with labs) this fall. Need to take Calc, and depending if i dont get accepted to my top school(UH Hilo) before spring, Statistics and physics. So close to being done....

Wow, you will really have a full fall semester good luck with that LOL

 

[PrepharmKID]

haha yeah i know. This is the most amount of credits i have taken since my first semester of college 4 years ago. I feel that I need to take all these though to be on the right path for acceptance in 2009. I figure if i am accepted into midwestern, i need everything done by 5/09.

I did well in Human Anatomy & Phys I, so for HA & P II i am taking it online as well as sociology. That will make it tons easier or tons harder. Thanks. Your fall doesn't seem to be that much easier! I found O-chem I to be harder than O-chem II.

 

[tootoo30]

I know LOL, I get stressed just thinking about it. I'm also trying to stay on track to get in for Fall 2009. I have Org II w/lab, Physics I w/Lab and Microbiology next semester so I feel your pain.

Ha Ha. That blows. Have you taken Physics? Not sure whose spring semester looks worst... You gonna be done then after those 3?

 

[tootoo30]

Nope, this will be my first time taking Physics and yes I will be done after this thank you GOD LOL

 

[PrepharmKID]

what are your stats currently looking like?


I have an entire semesters worth of not so good grades from when I first started out in school. It's killin me. I hope I get into UH Hilo before January so I dont have to take physics or statistics. I am dreading those.

 

[tootoo30]

Yeah I feel you, the first three years of school I have HORRIBLE grades, mainly because I was in the reserve at the time and had to withdraw one whole semester. I left my original university and got my BS from another. I graduated with a 3.28. I can't tell you what my cumulative GPA is because I have over 200 credit hours. The school I'm applying to only does prerequisite GPA.

My prerequisite GPA so far is 3.5
My science/math GPA so far is 3.4
My science GPA so far is 3.5

I'm getting there slowly but surely LOL

Well I think you have fantastic grades. I'm jealous. You even have a BS degree. You win.

What schools did you want into?

Yeah, I thought UH HIlo only looked at Pre-req gpa as well cause they make you fill out a sheet with just those courses/grades. But their website says they calculate their GPA and use the course info from pharmcas. These schools make stuff really confusing.

I'm only applying to Xavier University because I don't want to leave New Orleans, just getting back settled since the hurricane LOL. I considered Creighton, but I don't think I'm a competitive applicant, plus I don't want to spend my free summers doing labs in Nebraska. I plan to take one class in my MS CIS progarm during summer breaks so I can receive my MS and my PharmD at the same time.

Your grades are great for a cumulative average. If I did a cumulative average my GPA would probably be around 2.9 LOL with all the classes that I have taken including the F's and W's LOL
