I won't be behind if I start tackling my pre-med requirements sophomore year, right?

<p>I don't mind taking Biology and Chemistry next year, but wouldn't that mean I'd have to take a year Organic Chemistry during my junior year? Would I be able to do study-abroad, then? Maybe it was bad logic on my part, but I wanted to get adjusted to college before I tackled these requirements. Hell, this semester I'm opting to take Calc I instead of what I placed into (Calc II), so that I'd finish off my freshman year strong and with confidence, so that I could tackle the large workload of school next year. Was this stupid?</p>

<p>Define "behind." It might affect your ability to go straight into medical school after college. Would you be "behind" as compared to the average matriculating medical student? No, not at all.</p>

<p>Sure seems like it. Is this a problem for you? When do you plan to take your year of physics?</p>

<p>No one here can tell you if you'd be able to study abroad. That depends on your plan of study and your school's requirements.</p>

<p>No one here can tell you if this was stupid or not. Maybe you will succeed next year. Maybe the increased workload will overwhelm you. Since you're not posting on this board worried about your grades, you probably did well this semester, so that's certainly a point in your favor.</p>
