Am I trying to do too much? Any suggestions?
So I should have a 2.8 Science GPA after this quarter (I only had one science class so it hardly went up). Looking at a 3.0 Science GPA after this year if I buckle down.
Spring Quarter:
Physics 1, Calculus 3, Biochemistry, and an easy Science/finish Spanish sequence.
Sophomore year summer:
First two quarters of Organic Chemistry.
Minimum research/volunteering until done, then more during the last 8 weeks of the summer.
Get my CNA certification during the last 8 weeks.
Junior year, I will be finishing the last two Physics and the last Orgo. I will also take upper level Biology/Chemistry along with easier ones. Plan on taking another intro to Stats as one of the easier classes (I got a C+). MAYBE start MCAT prep if my grades are high enough and I want to try to avoid a gap year.
Junior year summer:
POSSIBLY re-taking General Chemistry for 10 weeks, research, volunteering, and working as a CNA/patient care tech. I will begin studying for MCAT.
Senior year, I will just be finishing up my requirements (not science) and some upper level Biology classes, continuing studying for MCAT, and then applying!
During the school years I plan to continue EC’s, but really just focusing on my grades. Volunteering in a clinic/hospital once a week (2 days) and possible research during the week. Non-clinical volunteering like once a month. Working as a "on-call" CNA/Patient Care Tech where basically if they need someone, they can call me and ask if I would like to come in.
Concerns: Not finishing Spanish now instead of next year seems stupid, but it would be a nice easy class with Orgo, and I could have room for another Science now.
Just taking 2 Orgo quarters instead of all 3 will save me about 3k, but waiting so long seems stupid (all though I will try to study for MCAT , so I might be fine and even ahead)?
Sorry that it is so long, so much on my mind. I plan on shutting myself off from the internet after spring break to focus.
