High schooler possibly taking Organic Chem - Am I killing myself here?

Applying to College
1

<p>Rising high school junior here</p>

<p>I'm planning to take Orgo Chem online through Oregon State University for the Winter and Spring quarters.</p>

<p>I dunno though...am I killing myself here if I was to do that in combination with this school schedule?</p>

<p>I want to take Biochemistry, followed by Molecular Biology then Neurobiology, at the local university (quarter system)- all finished by end of senior year. Biochemistry requires Organic Chem...and idk if I can take Orgo Chem during the summer after Junior year because idk what summer plans/activities that may come up that I'll have to deal with.</p>

<p>AP English Language
Physics Honors
AP US History
Spanish IV
(^ at-school; heard the teachers and classes are easy though)</p>

<p>AP Calculus BC (Johns Hopkins Uni CTY - 8 month schedule starting this upcoming mid-July)</p>

<p>AP Biology (Stanford EPGY OHS or Johns Hopkins CTY - will have read the Campbells textbook already this summer cus of USABO prepping)</p>

<p>General Chemistry - CHEM 123 (3rd out of 3rd part of Gen Chem series) - FALL
Organic Chemistry - CHEM 321, 322 (Organic Chem series) - WINTER, SPRING
(^ online)</p>

<p>I will also have multiple ECs because I'm a Type A personality like that haha....piano, robotics, volunteering, research, and Olympiad prepping just to name a few...</p>

<p>I am thinking about cutting Organic Chem, and replacing it with Latin I on Stanford EPGY OHS. Or maybe I should not do AP Bio online and just take the AP exam w/o taking the class.</p>

<p>The classes I am taking at school will not be touched.</p>

<p>Note, I am aiming for schools like Harvard and Stanford.</p>

<p>^If you are premed, every college course you take, even during HS, is counted in your gpa. Also, Med schools do not like to see required coursework taken during the summer. Not sure where they stand on requirements taken online, but I’d find out before doing so.</p>

<p>I will never ever ever ever ever apply to med school. Never ever. Premeds = SMH</p>
