Hello everyone,
Newbie and first time poster here. With the way my future schedules look (I'm currently a sophomore, double majoring in a B.S. and B.F.A.), I'd be finishing Orgo II in the second semester of my junior year. Unless I take Orgo I over the summer, but I've been advised not to do so by some. Would this be a big problem? I'm not too fond of chemistry, thanks to a certain high school experience, but I don't exactly think the material is uninteresting.
Secondly, I know the normal pre-requisites are Bio, Chem, Orgo, and Physics, all with lab, but are there any other recommended courses I should take and/or desperately need? Any habits I should develop right now?
Lastly, what's your opinion on the whole taking-a-year-off-before-med-school thing? It's not exactly related to the MCAT, but it sort of does depend on when you take the exam.
I hope I've given you enough to read Thanks.
