Community College Student transferring to a University of California Davis, for fall 2016. Would like to knock out Chemistry (at CC) in order to take OG Chem at 4 year, in my junior year, before applications. My major is Psychology. I have two Premed Schedule options. Which one is preferable by lower-mid tier allopathic schools? I'm leaning towards the first option, as I'm worried I won't be able to fit all three classes, in second option, into roster.

1
Community College: 1 Year Chemistry, 1 Year Biology
University of California: 1 Year OG, 1 Year Physics, Biochemistry (if possible).

or

2
Community College: 1 Year Chemistry
University of California: 1 Year OG, 1 Year Physics, 1 Year Biology.

While it is preferable to take multiple difficult courses simultaneously, I would set it up so that you can drop one of those courses before the deadline if you're feeling overwhelmed. Taking difficult courses together is good for the application, but getting bad grades is also not so good. Personally I think both options are totally fine.
