Hi everyone, I'm a post-bacc student in my 2nd and (hopefully) last year. I was a Gov. major in undergrad and doing a career changer post-bacc program.
I'm looking for advice about my schedule, I'm a little worried it's going to be too much and I'm thinking about dropping a class, but my advisor wants me to be taking 3 courses per semester..
I'm signed up for Orgo I, Physics I + lab and one upper division Bio course. I'm also a teaching assistant for a general bio course, I work 40 hours a week, volunteer at a clinic 6 hours a week and do non-clinical volunteering at an organization for youth with developmental disabilities 4 hours a week. I'm financially independent and need to work full time. The clinical volunteering is through a program and I made a commitment to them, so I can't possibly drop these things from my schedule.
I'm considering dropping Bio, so I will only be taking Orgo I and Physics I/Physics Lab, but my advisor told me not to do this, saying it looks bad for med school if you only take 2 courses.
My BCPM GPA is a 3.6, so I really can't afford to not get A's or A- in these classes.
Any advice you can give me is greatly appreciated, thanks. P.S I've cross-posted this from the non-trad forum, hope that's ok (I only got 1 response there)
