<p>So for my first semester my schedule right now is:</p>
<p>Calculus II 4 credits (scored a 5 on bc and very good at math, seriously considered skipping calc ii but decided would be better to take t)
Intro to Bio 4 credits (Biology I) only ever took bio in 9th grade as an honors class.
Bio lab 0 credits (add on to intro to bio)
Physics II 4 credits (took the ap physics b class, got a 5, self studied for both ap physics c exams the next year, scored a 5 on mechanics and 4 on electricity and magnetism) Pretty comfortable with physics.
Chemistry I w/ advanced lab 4 credits (adv lab simply means more technique oriented labs) I took ap chemistry but I unfortunately slacked off most of the year and scored a 3.</p>
<p>I am going to rensselaer and am majoring in biomedical engineering with Pre med track. Does this schedule sound manageable given by abilities or too much for first semester? I am a bit worried I may not have room to take, in the future, organic chemistry, second semester bio an chem courses in addition to my major concentration classes and English sufficiently before taking the MCAT. I am not worried at all about calc ii and feel good about Chem and bio, but is it just the workload that would be really tedious and hard? If I change, I would take an English course instead of physics II, which I would take next semester. I am not an athlete and plan on doing a few clubs such as quiz bowl, ambulace club, physics, an intramural, hopefully more shadowing, etc.</p>
<p>Thanks a lot!</p>
