I've noticed, and read a lot that it's recommended Freshman take like..what, biology 1&2, general chem 1 & 2, and physics or calc their first year? Does anyone NOT do this? While planning a schedule, and thinking "I'll do it differently", I realized, this is all to be adequately prepared for the MCAT, right? So if I choose to not follow a similar version to that recommended, I would be much delayed? I can't stand the thought of taking two science or a science and math class at the same time my first year, especially since I KNOW I'll need to find study habits, or I'll be horribly stressed and it may affect my grades.
So, has anyone not followed this path, or does anyone have input for me? I really just want to focus on keeping a high GPA for my first year, so I'll get the feel of college life, and course load. And I definitely need to factor in that I had basically no science in high school, so I'm starting from scratch here.
Thanks.
