<p>Highschoolgrad09: Just a suggestion here: maybe you should mention when you plan to take MCAT so that others may give you suggestions according to your time line.</p>
<p>Unlike many CCers here, I am not an expert here so read my post below with a grain of salt.</p>
<p>It is very typical for a premed to take gen. chem. and bio in freshman year, and orgo and physics in sophomore year, especially if you are a science major. Some may postpone physics to the junior year because you may also need to fit in calculus somewhere in the first two years.</p>
<p>Well, although I now know this may be a typical sequence (I did not know it a few years back), my child did not follow this sequence exactly. Especially for the bio courses, he ends up taking a few bio courses in the reverse order: cell bio and genetics and a bunch of bio electives first, and then the second half of the intro bio (which he reluctantly takes just because his department insists that he take it.) Weird.</p>
