background info: freshman, community college, intent to transfer
I entered college with the intent of being a bio major because I wanted to go to med school and specialize in neuroscience.
WELL. My first semester I took on some tough courses and just got my grades..
General Biology I: B+
General Chemistry I: C+
Calculus I: B+
English 101: A
My main concern is my chemistry grade..heh. Is a C+ okay?!
I also found this semester extremely challenging with frequenting the library to write papers and read my textbooks. THIS WAS SOO TIME CONSUMING. This semester has challenged me so much that I honestly feel scared to continue with a biology major. SO I was thinking about changing my major to Psychology.
If I change to psychology with plans to go to med school I would have to do a post-bac or take the science courses on the side.
Any comments or opinions on post-bacs?
I called a few med schools like Brown and UPenn who told me that they accepted pre-med courses taken at community colleges.
