Isn't that highly not recommended? To take chem and bio in your first qtr of college. Aren't you supposed to go a lil easy with like 12 units the first qtr? I mean i know that will be only 10 units, but i think thats a lot for your first sem/quarter

I thought taking Biology & Chemistry in one quarter was absolutely absurd. So I didn't take Chem my first quarter and ended up being behind and so I had to take summer school if I wanted to take Organic my sophomore year.

10 isn't a lot, I took 11 hours my first quarter of college and made all A's. It's not as bad as you think. It's definitely doable! Be sure to take gen chem freshman year, organic sophomore, and if you have to do biochem, your junior year.

Good luck!

You said its not as bad as i think, i think it is.

Yeah, but im currently going to UC Davis. And this isn't a joke like some of my friends universities.. At my friends university, the classes aren't graded on curves, so if everyone studies everyone can hypothetically get an A... Here there is a curve in all the science classes. The chem teacher said last year to get a C+ in the class you had to get a 86% atleast on every test since the curve was so high...Only so many people can get an A with a bell curve.

And every guidence counselor i talked to said they highly advise against taking those two classes together and they don't recommend it so im kinda confused

If you can't handle undergrad intro courses, how are you going to handle a full load of d-school courses? Better get used to it.

Well, my sisters husband is in dental school, and he says you don't have to worry much once your in. Only the people that want to specialize try to get A's. Otherwise he says that everyone else is in the mindset of "C's get degree's".

Take gen chem 1st year, ochem 2nd year. Then fit gen bio in the first two years that will be comfortable for you. You can take it 2nd and 3rd semester so you can get used to undergrad work.

At my university they expect you to take General Biology I, Biology Lab I, General Chemistry I, and Calculus I first semester. Second semester you take General Biology II, Biology Lab II, General Chemistry II, Chemistry Lab, and Calculus II.

Then third and fourth semester is Your Organic Chemistry's and Lab's along with Genetics and Microbiology.

fifth and sixth semester are your Physics and Physics Labs with biochemistry and Vertebral Physiology and whatever other upper level bio classes you want.

hope this helps
