How's my premed schedule?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Duke University
1

<p>Math 25L
Bio 103L
Writing 20 - Genetics and Society
BAA</p>

<p>I got a 5 on my AP Bio exam and I also emailed the professor asking if Bio 103L is suitable for me. He said it's kinda hard but I should be fine. Also, I heard the 4 hr labs in 25L are a killer. I didn't take any calc classes in high school so i'm starting with 25L. As for BAA, it's interesting and I didn't want to take another real course my first semester.</p>

<p>For next semester, I was thinking Chem 22L, Russian 1, Seminar and....(any ideas?)</p>

<p>Thanks for your time and opinions.</p>

<p>To be quite honest, as a Biology major, I will say it's probably not the best idea to take a 100-level bio class your first semester, especially a lab one. I got a 5 on AP Bio as well and I actually didn't take a biology class at all first semester. If you do take one, however, I'd suggest taking 26 instead, because you're going to end up having to take it.</p>

<p>Bio 26 isn't offered this semester. You should consider taking a chem course now, so you can look into taking Orgo I next semester. That's not really a problem since you'll have your 3 chem classes together right before the MCAT, which may help. Otherwise looks pretty good for a premed schedule, but then again its pretty hard to mess one up the first semester.</p>

<p>I hope you're taking BAA w/ the discussion section, as it's extremely helpful</p>

<p>Well, it's too late to change it now so I'd just like to know if I dug myself into a deep hole for my first semester.</p>

<p>Also, no it's not BAA with discussion.</p>

<p>There's another drop/add period the week before classes start. You can change classes when you meet with your adviser.</p>
