Need urgent help with senior year schedule!

Pre-Med & Medical School Multiple Degree Programs
1

<p>Alright, I'm trying to double major in neuroscience and journalism (then go into med), preferably at UT Austin. I'm in my senior year of high school right now. </p>

<p>Last year, I took AP Biology, AP Language/Composition, and AP US History. I received 5's on all three exams. I also took Spanish 3 honors, Algebra 2 honors, and Physics. Plus some electives. </p>

<p>This year, I'm in AP Chem/Chem Lab/AP Literature/AP World History/Precalculus/Spanish 4 honors. The problem is that I took regular chem in tenth grade, so I basically have a 'chem gap year'. This is making AP Chem terribly hard for me, and I'm thinking about dropping AP Chem to take AP Micro/Macro Economics instead. In place of Chem Lab, I would have an elective or Teacher's assistant. </p>

<p>Would dropping AP Chem make my senior year schedule look too 'weak' for UT Austin? Any ideas? </p>

<p>Thank you in advance :)</p>

<p>AP Chem should not be as hard as you have described as Gen. Chem is the easiest class out of Med. School Admission reguired science classes. I would stick with it and make sure that you understand every single bit of it, even if you still will take it in college as most pre-meds do, just as with AP Bio credit.</p>
