Currently, in the fall, I am taking bio 1, orgo 1, and physics 1. I plan on taking bio 2, physics 2, and cell bio in the spring. Is this too much?

I survived a similar schedule as a sophomore (just barely- physics was ruogh). Good luck!

No. That will be relatively though, but still manageable.

My worst semester...
Pchem 2 - the hardest class I've ever taken
Pchm lab - two credits of the hardest lab I've ever taken
Anatomy + its lab - and I suck at memorizing
Instrumental analysis + its lab - 5 credits of more upper division chemistry
Online economics - teaching yourself econ is no fun at all

Just don't do something like that and you'll be fine.

You'll be busy, but it's not impossible. Manage your time well and you will do well.

I've done something similar to that, and I agree it can be tough.

But when I got to pharmacy school, the transition to the amount of work I had to do wasn't too much.

Nope. If you search the forums, you'll see that quite a few of us took this kind of course load, usually with an additional gen ed course or two on top.

Amen, sister. Bonus points: our lectures for economics were pre-recorded and the professor had died just prior to the start of the semester. I got squeamish when he made remarks on the video like, "you guys will be paying for the Iraq War way after I'm dead and gone." 😳

Thanks guys for all of your help!! I think I might take cell bio, bio 2, and physics 2 in the spring. It might even help me with my time-managing skills.

Schools will expect you to take heavy course loads.
