How do my classes look for freshmen year?

<p>Am I off to a good start for dental school?</p>

<p>Calculus & analytic geometry
General Chem
Honors freshmen English
Liberal arts seminar</p>

<p>13 credits total</p>

<p>Thanks, I do plan taking more credits 2nd semester</p>

<p>That seems like a pretty basic path for pre-med and a lot of my friends follow similar patters. </p>

<p>Is Chem Lab included in General Chemistry? Becuase you need lab with it! </p>

<p>Do you think you can handle 1 more class? At Hopkins we have most pre-meds taking like ~15-16 credits/semester. </p>

<p>I recommend some sort of Biology perhaps? Depends on your major! </p>

<p>Seems ok though :)</p>

<p>I did drop the seminar and added an astronomy course to bump it to 15 credits. And the chem is w/ a lab. Thanks</p>

<p>Curious…do you need astronomy for something? At least for med school, it doesn’t count for anything (it’s not considered physics, as I recall). Why not take the seminar (if it’s required) and a behavioral science course to get that req’t out of the way? If the seminar’s not required, I’d take the psych class + another gen ed (perhaps your arts GE or something). Or you could add Gen Bio I – most pre-meds take that first sem freshmen yr.</p>

<p>Unless it is purely physics based astronomy it won’t count (you will probably have to appeal amcas as it is). However, if you are interested in astronomy I definitely suggest that you take it. College isn’t just about getting into medical school. Have time for your interests.</p>
