Should I Take these Courses 3rd year?

Hey so I was wondering if this is a good idea:

Fall semester:
Physics I
Introductory Inorganic Chemistry I (3 lecture, 1.5 tutorial)
Introductory Physical Chemistry I
Analytical Chemistry (3 lab, 3 lecture) 1 course needed from: 0359141
Metabolism I (3 lecture)
Winter semester

Introductory Physical Chemistry II
Introductory Inorganic Chemistry II (3 lecture, 3 laboratory hours a week.)
Metabolism II (2 lecture)
Protein and Nucleic Acid Chemistry (2 lecture)
Physics II

I think it all depends on you. This is a ton of science classes and I would be very uncomfortable if it was me taking them, but like I said it all depends on you.

Plus the sheer amount of labs is a little daunting. Do Physical Chem and Physics have a labs associated with them?

I may be misunderstanding you, but are you considering taking Intro Chem and Phys. Chem simultaneously? If so, you really need a good foundation in college chemistry to survive PC. Then Analytic Chem and Physics on top of that...I dunno dude. To me, that seems stupendously hard. I really hope you have extensive experience in pretty much all those topics, if you decide to go through with this.

That looks intense. If you follow through, expect a withdrawal from one of those.

Pchem and Achem together? That already makes me want to say no, but adding all your other classes and labs together...? I wouldn't do that. In the end, I guess it's all up to you. I certainly hope you've had extensive exposure to applied mathematics already.

P chem is the one I would steer away from if you can. That is an intense class, so it may be too much with all of the others you listed. It all comes down to what you think you can handle. What is the most intense semester/quarter you have taken? How does it compare to this list? How did you do that term?

So the consensus here is that it's a bad idea. The only reason I have this as my possible schedule for next year is because I want to finish by my fourth year, and schedules like this are very common for my program--Biochemistry.

I'm going to heed all your warnings and attempt to alleviate the load!

Any more suggestions will be much appreciated.

There's nothing wrong with spreading out, taking a fifth year, and/or summer classes.
