I suppose it's a good thing I'm not one of the super-rushed premeds and I am ok with taking my time. With that said, Ohio schools are switching to semeseters for some unclear reason, and of course this is taking place right in the middle of everything.

My bachelors program is 10 courses long, my adviser tells me she can't tell me which classes are safe to take and which will be changing..

It doesn't really effect my pre-reqs too much, and actually might make it a bit easier for me to move forward with my plan to take my pre-reqs concurrently with my bachelors work. It's just frustrating to worry about scheduling my next quarter without assurances that I'm not wasting my time/money on a class..
