<p>I recently registered for my classes as a bio major, the bad thing was that i did poorly on my chemisty placement exam. I think the reason i failed it was because i totally forgot the basic stuff about chemistry, since the last time i took the class was when i was a sophomore in hs and plus i didnt study. I felt like if i took time to review the material i could of done better. So now my advisor is making me take two intro chemistry classes before i take any biology or other science classes. I kinda feel like the courses he's giving me are limiting my chances to finish the courses i need to prepare me for the mcat by junior year...im new to how the whole college course thingy works so im kinda confused. Im just worried that im starting at a really low point in preparing for med school, please critique my schedule and see if im wasting my time and if the courses im taking are covering any med school prerequisites.</p>
<p>fall sem:
eng composition
intro chem
intro chem lab
psychology
math element analysis</p>
<p>my advisor woudlnt give me insight at what i can take in the future because he doesnt know if i will pass my first semester or not. Its like hes basing my intelligence on a placement test that i know i could of did better on if i reviewed. I had decent chemistry grades (B+) in high school..</p>
<p>Schedules are very flexible and in any case most premeds don't take bio first semester.</p>
<p>I think it's prudent to restrain the game of letting premeds get too far ahead of themselves since many of them are surprised by their early college years.</p>
<p>so my schedule is not gonna hold me back from getting all that i need before mcats come around?</p>
<p>Schedules are very flexible and in any case most premeds don't take bio first semester.</p>
<p>so is it a good idea to take general chemistry and biology during my sophomore yr then orgo during my junior yr? is orgo that big a deal when it comes to not giving you enough time to prepare for the mcat at the same time?</p>
<p>What's Intro Chem if it's not GenChem?</p>
<p>according to my adviser its the class i have to take in order to prepare my self for biology and other science classes for being a bio major since i did poorly on the chemistry placement exam...</p>
<p>Well, then ... you do what you have to do. Certainly this won't make it impossible to go to medical school.</p>
<p>is there anyway someone can create the wisest 4 year schedule in order for me to prepare for the mcat if i do continue with my current schedule, like the courses i need to take each year starting from my sophomore yr to my senior yr if i start out with the classes im taking during freshman year...</p>
