I will be a sophomore this coming school year. I do not wish to take the new 2015 mcat, so I will be taking the one in 2014 🙂 In my freshman year, I took Bio and chem and did well. My sophomore year, I will take Physics and ochem. I will have my pre-reqs done before taking the mcat. But I need help choosing classes for sophomore year.

For first quarter (my school is on a quarter system), I will take physics, ochem, ecology, and statistics. I am a biology major so i have to take ecology and intro to research methods next quarter. Physics is pretty challenging at my school but the teachers makes you learn. I hear people do not like the ochem teacher and that he's pretty hard. Ecology is easy from what I heard and i believe stats is easy but the teacher sucks. Physics, ochem, and ecology all have labs and I will TA for bio lab, so I will have 4 labs. Is this schedule too much or doable? I really need to get straight As and I work pretty hard during the school year. should i switch stats with some other easier GE class?
 
The only concern is that your score will be valid at all med school in 2016 but a significant number won't accept them by 2017. So you must be sure that you will follow through with applying in 2016.
Won't I be applying in 2015?
