Hi everyone!

I wanted to post my report card for my first year of undergrad.

-English Composition Two
-Biology One with lab
-Anatomy&Physiology with Cadaver
-Pre-Calc
-Eastern World Geography

Summer Semester:
-Pre-Cal Two/Trig
-Biology Two with lab
-Biology field study

Projected GPA: 3.6
Total Credits: 38

E.C:
Regularly volunteering at a hospital

Currently looking for a dentist to shadow.

So how did I do?
Did I start off well?
Anything recommendations?

Thanks everyone!🙂
 
Looks pretty sloppy, better double up on your studying or drop out now. That was my Mr Hyde. You're doing very well, although I would rather see your individual grades than overall GPA. How did you manage to take A&P as a freshman, w/o all the other requirements? And also, not a major deal, but will you be starting Gchem soon? Definately need to start that by sophmore year so you can knock out Ochem afterwards.

-Taking Gen Chem in the Fall.

-The only recommended course A&P was Bio 1. Also took A&P in high school last year so it really helped out...
 
OK, but where's the individual grades? If you want a serious assessment we need to see that.
 
If you think those grades were good...wait until the vtec kicks in!
Toyota lover here, sorry.

How well do you think you did?

The GPA is fine. Keep going you are 1/3 the way there before you have to apply.
 
Can I ask you what college you are attending right now?
 
You should be careful loading up a semester so full of difficult classes...it can be GPA suicide. You were lucky this time, but come on...English, Sociology and Psychology all at once 😱

You're being sarcastic... right?:laugh:
 
Lol...that was my first semester...second semester I loaded up!

Be careful about loading up though. If you do it over several semester you could suffer a burn out. If you can sustain your GPA while loading up though go ahead.
 
You should take at least 1 PE class every semester, thats what they are trying to tell you. 😛
 
Your grades are pretty good. Are you planning to take Chemistry? I thought most schools require Chemistry as a prereq to Biology classes. I could be wrong.
 
ask your dentist if you can shadow him. ask around your friends and family for dentists to shadow.

worst comes to worst just get a phone book and start calling all the dentists. keep the conversation short and to the point.

i personally dont think you need to shadow for a long time because i think shadowing is boring. i would recommend assisting after you shadowed a bit. just ask the dentist if you can help out at the office for free.
 
Why not wait at least until your "projected" becomes official. It is a bit unusual to take Anatomy/Physiology concurrently with Bio 1.
