I am currently a freshman and my advisor told me not to take gen chem 1 my first semester (which I wish I would've) and now I have to wait until the spring to take it. Should I try to get gen chem 2 done during the summer? would that be bad with a shortened time period? Or should I just wait until sophomore year first semester? Also what order should I take the following : Genetics, Cell bio, Microbiology. Thanks!
 
Take it during the regular semester and do other stuff during the summer to buff your ECs. Take cell bio first and the other 2 in any order (I'd do microbio next).

I left one out, what about Biochem?

Depends on what level biochem it is I guess. My school offers 2 levels of Biochem (a 200 and 400). Regardless take cell bio before any of those since it is a very introductory course. If I were you I would take Cell Bio -> Biochem -> Microbio -> genetics. I am not a bio major, but a biochem major hence the Biochem course earlier in the sequence. You really need cell for any of the other courses and biochem will probably help for micro and maybe genetics? I don't think it matters if you take micro or genetics after so just go by how your school normally does it or how you see fit.
 
Ok, my school has the intro levels of micro and biochem as well, thank you.
