I'm doing a crazy fall semester too, so I'll tell you what my advisor told me. If you think you can do it, try, but have an escape plan. Decide which one you'll drop before the end of the drop period if it seems like too much once you get going. Assuming your school's drop period is long enough to tell, of course. If you're used to your own study habits, you should have a feel for whether you can handle it or not by then.

That isn't too bad. Last semester I took the following at a large public univ:

Neuroscience
Ecology
Molecular Biology
Physical Chemistry
Cellular and Developmental Biology Lab

All tough senior level courses. Got a 4.0. It can be done, it just depends on how interest you are in your coursework.

If you do well it shows you can handle a lot of science (like in med school), but if you dont have to take all the classes then take one or two less. What matters is your final GPA not semester GPA and so you dont want to mess up your GPA because of one bad semester. Good luck,

Thanks for the advice.

So, I have finished my prereqs finally, but I want to take some upper level courses to get my GPA up. I pretty much have a 4.0 this semester at a state university, and I am thinking of getting a second bachelor's in chemistry and biology to get my uGPA way up before I apply.

Here is what I am looking to take in the fall. What do you guys think?

BIO 2200 UG (LS)Intro Microbio 4.000
CHM 2220 UG Organic Chemistry 2 3.000
CHM 2230 UG Organic Chm 2 Lab 2.000
CHM 2280 UG Gen Chm 2/Analytical Chm 3.000
CHM 2290 UG Gen Chm 2:Anlyt Chm Lab 2.000
CHM 6620 UG Metabolism 3.000

Thanks. I was thinking of taking a survey course in the pharmacology of addictive drugs, but I think that might be too much.

How did you finish your pre-reqs, yet you are taking ochem and general chem 2?
