Ms. Day the enrollment coach told me that we can enroll up to 16 credits, most of the classes are 4 credits. Not sure about summer. I'm planning to do Harvard Summer School as well. They have a lot of interesting classes to take, and to be honest its cheaper than some of the state tuition fee.

Have you attended the program, if so, how has your experience been so far? Also planning to start HES next summer without enrolling in the program, just adding classes on my own. Thanks.

Completed a DIY PB involving HES science courses. Currently applying and just got my first II at a DO program.
I only took 3 courses at HES (genetics, endocrine physiology, and stem cell) and performed well in all of them. I definitely recommend HES if your going the DIY PB route. Just make sure you read up on the professors --> my stem cell class was super interesting and provided me with a lot of valuable info... just a very tough grader (I ended up getting a B+).

Did anyone take biology with Casey Roehrig? I hear it’s not the best at HES. No personal experience with this course!Would love to know
