I'm a freshman, and I need advice for my 2nd semester schedule

<p>First off, thank you for taking your time to read this post. :)</p>

<p>Right now, I'm taking a Contemporary Biology course + lab, a General I Chem course + lab, a general req class (not important) and an Introduction Scientific Data Analysis class. Next semester, I plan to register for an Introduction Molecular Biology + lab, a General II Chem course + lab, a Physics I for biology students + lab, and a Statistic Science Data Analysis class. There were either words or rumors saying that med schools would rather see general Physics I instead of Physics I for biology students, but I'm not sure...also talked to my advisor about this, but just in case, can someone help me in choosing what physics class I need to take?</p>

<p>I dont think it really matters which physics class you take. No one will ask or care about it. (Personal anecdote: I took “Physics for Biosciences” and I got into multiple top schools).</p>

<p>A lot depends on what the transcript looks like and the “knowledge” of the reader of your application. Generally the “real course” is best. But what is your major? 3 labs per semester is not normal. Are you taking them for your major or to impress. The “not important” for the general reg class bothers me</p>

<p>Thanks trapezius, decided to take physics I for biology students. :)</p>

<p>My major, Princess’Dad, is biology. My advisor told me that most students take their first physics I for biology class in their junior year (at our school) but because I did so much AP and/or jc credits for my lower division credits, I was left with 3 choices: Either take physics I for biology students, some random tough upper division elective class, or go with a lighter class schedule. Naturally I went for physics. :stuck_out_tongue: And I wouldn’t be worried about the general req class, all I’m saying was that those classes were necessary to graduate either from my school and/or university itself.</p>
