Organisms and Populations (bio II)- 3 credits (I heard this is much easier than bio I)
Organisms and Populations lab- 2 credits
Organic Chemistry I- 3 credits (have a great professor)
Introductory Physics I - 3 credits (online class)
Introductory Physics I lab- 1 credit
Physiology Pre-Health Prof - 4 credits (mostly online class)

Total: 16

With all this, I still have no classes on Mon/Fri and only 1 on wed. Do you think it's too much. Thanks!

No, I don't think it is too much. It also depends on how you study and how many hours of activities you have outside of these classes.

I never considered a lab as a class. In my school, I have to take the labs at the same time as the class so I just see it as part of it and 4 classes with 2 labs is not much at all. but at the end, you're the only person who can answer your question.

My main concern is organic chemistry mixing with physio.

What do you mean?

Just give the necessary time to each of them to learn the material and don't cram and wait until the night before to study till 3 am because you'll burnout but your schedule is very doable especially since you have a lot of free time out of school.

I consider the labs to be a part of the actual course.
4 classes is very doable.

As for this, don't stress. I did Orgo I, Physics, and Physio last semester. Just balance out your work and keep up with your physio reading.

lol no

Organic doesn't have a lab attached? Seems silly. 2 labs sucks and is very time consuming and energy draining. I think it's doable, but if it was me I would switch out the physio for a humanities or something just to lighten to load.

You'll work hard but I think it's doable. Good luck!

Nobody can really answer this question here. Talk to upperclassmen who have taken those classes with the same professors. I know at my school human phys is taken by premeds in their final semester because the grade wont be seen by adcoms until after acceptance/rejection.

Much more importantly, you should be aware that most MD schools aren't going to accept an online physics class for the prereq.

No. You'll be fine.

I doubt the "online" mention will even appear on OP's transcript in this case.
Online classes taken at traditional universities are generally fine.

I'm set to graduate a semester early, but I'd be fine with spacing it out a little. Do adcoms look down upon 12 credit semesters even if 5 classes are enrolled?

consensus seems to be that anything above full time is fine.
