Hi,

Do you think that my schedule for the upcoming semester is too heavy? Or perhaps I should say, do you think that it would be possible to do well (All A's or close) with my schedule?

I'm a junior and 3.85 GPA student. I have gotten A's in both semesters of General chemistry (including the Labs), Both Semesters of Organic (Including the labs) and Biochemistry. I'll also note that I took Genetics at my previous university (and received a solid A) before I transferred but my current UG is requiring me to retake it. Thus, I am thinking that Genetics won't be too much of a burden--also the exams are supposedly open-book.

Advanced Molecular Biology -- 3.0 Credits
Advanced Molecular Biology Lab -- 2.0 Credits
Genetics -- 3.0 Credits
Physics 2 -- 3.0 Credits
Physics 2 Lab -- 1.0 Credit
Introduction to Biostatistics -- 3.0 Credits
Mentored Research -- 2.0 Credits
Student Council Member -- 1.0 Credits

Yes, it's 18 credits. However, the bottom two courses aren't really 'courses' given that I won't have loads of work or exams to complete for them.

Is there a reason you need to take that many classes at once? If not, then spread it out. Other than that, only you can answer this question since it depends on so many other factors such as life style, EC, and study schedule.

Just make sure your finals are spread out then you're fine.

Frankly, the biostatistics course is tentative at this point. It's more of a course that I WANT to take but will likely not have time for in future semesters. Frankly, classes such as molecular biology and genetics--which are mostly memorization IMHO--will not be too difficult for me. I think that Physics II will be the heaviest for me.

Seems fine to me. Hope the semester goes well!

That looks like 15 graded credits + some pass/fail for ECs, is that correct? It's heavy on science but it's only one prereq. If your school has reasonably easy upper level Mol Bio then this isn't out of the ordinary for a premed BCPM major.

Yes, that's correct! I was thinking the same thing.

Thanks for your input!

looks completely fine. ace those 4 science classes!
