I'm currently in the process of making my schedule for next semester. Currently I'm in general chemistry 1 and have around a 89 average, next semester I'm planing on taking gen chem 2 and bio 2.

I'm trying to decide if I should take physics 1 and physics 2 (meets 5 days a week) over the summer, this would allow me to take organic chemistry with just 1 semester of bio 1. The second option is take physics 1 during the entire summer, the class only meets on saturdays for the entire day.

This would leave me with organic 1 paired with physics 2 and organic 2 paired with bio 1.

The physics is algebra based, and I'm currently having no problems with the math in gen chem 1.

any input would be very helpful!

thank you
 
I personally probably wouldn't cram too much into the summer. It's very hard to get As when you meet 5 hours a day for several hours a day.

(It can be done but school becomes your job then at that pace and those Bs can hurt your sGPA)
