Hello!
I am a biology and chemistry double major, and currently a sophomore. I've been working on a 4 year plan with my advisor and we recently came across a problem. I have four options, according to him:
1. Put off Physics II until spring of senior year, and take molecular next spring instead
2. Drop my chemistry major (I would really prefer if I did not have to do this)
3. Self study molecular biology before taking the MCAT
4. See if I can audit the class (sit in for lectures, but won't show up on transcript/no tests, quizzes, or labs).
I am trying to do option 4, but if that doesn't work out, what would you all recommend?
I prefer to keep my chemistry major for a variety of reasons (stand out better on medical school apps, raise math and science GPA (hopefully), and for the sheer reason that I enjoy it).
One other question- my math and science GPA is not the highest. I have got two C's, but no D or F. My school does not consider + or - in factoring for GPA. I believe (besides always trying to bring up GPA) the next most important thing would be my MCAT score? What else should I really focus on? I got accepted to do research this summer, and I'm currently shadowing a general physician.
This is my first time on this site. Thanks in advance!
