Hey I'm currently a freshman at UT in Austin. I'm enrolled in two honors programs - Plan II (Liberal Arts and other stuff) and Dean's Scholars Biochemistry major (Natural Sciences). I have to take about 17 hours every semester to graduate with both degrees and I'm having trouble deciding whether I should drop one (prob going to be planII)...
I'm doing well (first semester GPA = 3.8325), but I have a lot of reading from plan2 (2 lit. classes); however next year will be different since it will be 1 philosophy class which i hear isnt too much reading... but I'm not sure whether I should sack this degree and focus on other things like extracurriculars and enjoying more of college lol..
extracurriculars now: indian percussion group, premed club, research, and looking to do habitat for humanity next semester + i should prob find a hospital to volunteer at
Also, I won't be able to get too many upper-division classes in before taking the MCAT, which ones do you suggest?
I've taken genetics, bio, gen chem, will take orgo next year...
I will be trying to fit in physics along with 1-2 upper div bio classes or one semester of biochem/pchem
I've heard cell bio, molecular, vertebrate systems/physiology, biochem are the classes which are helpful but i can only fit like 2 in before the MCAT.
