I'm going into my junior year, and I'm worried I might be overburdened. What should I cut to make sure I have a more balanced load of classes and extracurriculars?

Maybe drop a class? Seems like a heavy schedule, obviously depending on the reputation of those classes at your particular school and on what your major is.

Assign a values from 1-10 to each class/activity that indicate
1)level of interest/importance to degree
2)rigor/time commitment
Find 1/2 and drop the one with the lowest ratio.

Thanks! This is a great idea.

You really could do all of those. Although being President of only 1 club would still look great on an application.

What are the clubs you're in? If one of them is a pre-med society, drop it. You could also postpone either Cell Bio or Physio.
