Hi. I just registered for classes for my junior year. I was going to take:
Physics 2 (5)
Microbiology Lecture (3)
Microbiology Lab (2)
Organic Chemistry 2 Lecture (3)
Organic Chemistry Lab (2)
Total: 15
I plan to take my OAT in the summer of 2013 but Physics has a lab built in which means I would be taking three lecture classes with three labs. I know if I can't handle science heavy course loads now then OD school will burn me. My only issue is the Microbiology labs here (I think) are four hours but so is my Organic Chemistry Lab. I was wanting to drop Microbiology lab and replace it with another science class lecture (like Molecular Biology). I figure I could just take the lecture part of microbiology and use those notes to study for the OAT and come back and retake the lab. I'd be swapping 2 for 3 so that would put me at a total of 16 credit hours. Another problem is at my undergrad, they only offer Microbiology lecture and lab in the fall so by the time I apply to OD school I won't have 100% of my pre-reqs done. What do you all think of this?
