<p>what are required courses?
and what courses should i take for medicine? i hope to be a doctor one day.
senior year i'm taking four college courses offered at my school:
College Chemistry (Gen chem 1 and 2) from MVCC
Anatomy & physiology half year and Nutrition for the other half from MVCC
Project Advance English from Syracuse University</p>
<p>i'm taking Physics now and this is my Junior year, i would love to take college physics during the summer, but idk how that works. or any science course during the summer, just to help me have more room for courses in college.</p>
<p>Nobody here would know what MVCC is. If you are asking what courses you should take as a freshman in college in order to fulfill premed requirements; you should consult the academic advisor for your department as each department and each institution will differ. In general, the first couple years of college for a biological sciences major, premed or otherwise, will include general chemistry, organic chemistry, analytical chemistry, biology, physics, calculus and maybe biochemistry or genetics if they should fit in your schedule depending on your advanced standing upon entrance. Frankly, I think you might be better served by getting involved in some sort of clinical volunteering pursuit this summer rather than worry about courses in college. Most applicants to medical schools have roughly the same coursework as preparation but what sets apart the applicants in a subjective manner is a real sense of purpose and drive which can only be generated through life experience. In short, gain exposure to what physicians/surgeons do and find something that really motivates you. Time spent volunteering in a hospital shadowing physicians would be much more valuable than an extra few credits in college. Best of luck in your pursuits.</p>
<p>Just as a general freshman thing: take courses you didn’t expect to take, that make other people ask why you’re taking it. For me, a computer-science course was kind of off-the-wall, and I loved it, switched my major, etc. Take a strange history course, or something on the philosophy of time, or something that sounds interesting but doesn’t necessarily make any sense in terms of your major/med school/whatever.</p>
<p>As to your situation: if you want to take intro-level courses now to make more room later, go to Syracuse or MVCC’s counselors or course guide, see what you’re allowed to take over summer or whatever, and just ask them about courses you’re interested in.</p>
