Hello, everyone.
I've been on here for over a year now but this will be my first time posting, sorry if I mess anything up as it is not my intention to do so.
I am currently a sophomore pre-med at a liberal arts university in Ohio who is majoring in biochemistry. I just met with my advisor for registration next semester, and he is recommending me to take 18 total credit hours with the following schedule:
Physics II w/ lab (4 credits)
O chem II w/lab (4 credits)
Analytical chem w/ lab (4 credits)
Class for Minor (either spanish or history) (4 credits)
MED class (1 credit)
research (1 credit)
At my school, all regular classes are worth 4 credits and labs are attached and worth 0 credits. Also, if you join a professor's research lab, you have to register for the 1 credit "research" class every semester so they can tack on a lab fee. 12 credits is considered full-time and more than 20 credits costs a loads more money. Does this schedule seem doable to you all here? Looking at it now, I think it might be too difficult to handle all at once, but if I am just lacking confidence in myself, please feel free to let me know.
I have a 4.0 so far and have taken chem I and II, bio I and II, calc I and II, stats, A/P I and II, among other classes. I'm also taking ochem I and physics I right now as my math/science classes. Furthermore, I volunteer with Meals on Wheels once a week and work at an ophthalmology clinic once a week for about five hours, as well.
Sorry for another 'does my schedule look okay?' post, but I honestly have no idea if I am setting myself up for disappointment next semester. I appreciate you all for taking the time to give me some much needed advice!
