Hey guys, I am in need of some help of what to take in the Fall 08'. I am applying for the 2008-2009 Cycle and would like to give you an overview of my course history before I ask for the advice. I have taken:
Chem I, II
Bio I, II (C- in II Lec. and C in II lab)
Physics I, II
Organic I, II (C+ in II lec.)
Biochem
Genetics
Microbiology
A & P I, II
Immunology
(Labs for all classes)
Calc., English, etc... as well
Those are the only C's I have earned throughout my academia and I am going to be a senior in the semester in question. I have a GPA of 3.57 and am guesstimating a science GPA of no less than 3.35. I will not be taking any summer courses because I will be in heavy prep. for the June MCAT and have completed 101 of the required 120 credit hours after this spring semester. I assuming with the materials I have purchased for MCAT prep. I can confidently say I should receive no less than a 35 on the exam with 1 month prep. I am planning on taking it easy and registering for cupcake courses to actually enjoy my last year in college. Do you guys recommend I continue to take upper level science courses and update my AMCAS after the completion of the courses to boost my GPA, retake some of the courses I received a C in, or take it easy and relax with intriguing classes assuming my MCAT is what expected? I would really appreciate any comments or suggestions because the mind is like a parachute, it only works when open.
