Howdy y'all!
I'm a freshman, and I'm planning out my degree right now to get all my prerequisites for the MCAT in time for me to take it my junior year. The only problem I have is that I really want to join a student organization on campus that requires a lot of dedication, which is really only active in the fall, but takes around 200~300 hours that single semester. I was thinking of joining this next year, so fall of 2022. Because of this intense time commitment, I reshuffled my schedule to take only 12 credit hours in Fall of 2022. I would be pushing Physics I and II to my junior year, so around the time I planned on taking the MCAT. This also lets me focus more on Organic Chemistry I, since I struggle a bit in chemistry classes.
I tried talking to upperclassmen, and they said that anytime is a bad time to take physics, so I could do whatever, and I thought that was really vague advice. I also contacted the premedical advisor for campus, and she told me to focus on my GPA, which I am trying to by freeing up more time for Organic Chem I.
Here would be my tentative schedule for Fall 2022:
My main question is this: Would I be able to do well on the MCAT while taking Physics I and II that year?
I'm probably just being too uptight, but I really don't have any other ways to get advice, so anything is really appreciated! Thank y'all so much!
