Whats everyone else taking?

14 credits here so I can squeeze in a little bit of MCAT studying. I spent all Winter holiday break studying.

I plan to study mainly Verbal and General Chem and do a lot of practice tests. I will not focus very much studying on O Chem or Physics because I will be enrolled in Organic Chem this term and Physics II this summer.

Anatomy/Lab
Biochem I/Lab
Organic Chem II/Lab

I have everything planned out this term, I have not left any room for EC's though. I have to tackle that next Fall once the MCAT is out of the picture.

Biochemistry 2. Mcat. Work.

I'm doing the several practice tests option. I'm taking my ninth this weekend out of 26 total prior to the March 23 test. Between post game, reviewing weak spots and verbal practice I'm pretty busy!
 
New job which requires full-time orientation for half the semester, gen2, bio2, 2 new EC's I'm starting and hoping to stick with for 1-2 years.
 
Final Semester before Mcat and applying:
BioChem
Vert. Physiology
Cell Biology
O-Chem Lab
Physics II Lab
= 13 pretty intense science hours

+ Tutoring all of the MCAT subjects (Bio, Chem, O-Chem, Phys) in the University's tutoring center, the idea here was to be forced to see and work through this material on a daily/continual basis before my exam at the end of April.

+ Volunteering
+ Keeping the misses happy and on board.
 
Biology I w/Lab
Gen Chem II w/Lab
EMT-Basic
Recent Advancements in Clinical Medicine (Presentations by local physicians - great opportunity to befriend some doctors!)
Fitness (need to get into shape!)
14 total credits

On the side, MCAT studying and probably some shadowing/volunteer work when I can.
 
Winding down another semester of grad school, getting closer to the finish line.

Fundamentals of social and behavioral science
MPH field experience working on some clinical research

Only doing 6 grad credits so I have time to do mcat review and work to get my house ready to list for sale. I will only have one day of commuting a week so i'm hoping to save some money as well. Still working a bunch and doing some ECs too. Been 12 years since I took physics and a decade since the rest of the mcat content 😛
 
Courses towards MS degree:

Sediment Transport Mechanics
Reservoir Modeling
Surface Processes Modeling
+ writing my thesis

Courses towards med school:
genetics (Only bio/phys class that would fit my schedule)

Also, I am TA'ing an upper division GIS course, as well as volunteering 5-6 hours a week at local hospital.
