I'm starting my informal postbac program in two weeks. I'm retaking all of my prereqs, as my advisor suggested, to help prepare for the MCAT (I forgot a ton!) and because most are at least 7-8 years old. I plan on studying for two years, with the second year consisting of Org Chem/upper level sciences/MCAT prep
My full-time schedule for this Fall is:
---
Bio I
Chem I
Phys I
Applied Calculus
---
No labs
13 hrs
I received a C in Calculus in high school when I took the course for advanced credit. My current advisor let me decide on whether I should retake Calculus. She suggested that I take Applied Calculus for non-science majors, as it will be easier. I agreed, but after thinking, I'm not sure that I should even retake it. Also, I'm pretty sure that Applied Calculus will do nothing to erase a C in Calculus I.
So, should I retake Calculus or take a course such as Behavioral Neuroscience, as she also suggested? I want to have a full-time workload but I don't want to add Organic Chem into the mix to keep the level of difficulty down for my first semester.
I haven't had any math since senior year of high school so I'm even wondering if I'll be able to jump right into Calculus I anyway. I'd probably have to start over with Pre-Calc.
