<p>What classes would you suggest for someone interested in medical school that can't take any sciences their first year? I'm in remedial math and need to complete the class before I can take any sciences, but I can't find anything other than English classes that don't feel like a waste of time.</p>

<p>Does your college have general education requirements? If so, then take classes that would fulfill those requirements.</p>

3

<p>They do, but it’s only two classes.</p>

4

<p>agh… i can’t take any science courses either, but only for first semester, because by the time i went to orientation, they were all full! how would taking most my science courses in sophmore year affect me in taking the MCATS at the end of the year?</p>

<p>^ What classes are you taking in the fall? If you log in online, there are still some spots open in some Biology and Chemistry classes at UVM.</p>

<p>You can’t change the classes yourself but you can call in. The person on the phone will tell you it is reserved but just persaude them. I see plenty of Chem and Bio classes with exactly 1 spot open in them.</p>

6

<p>do you email the professor or is there a general number to call… because i was trying to look for a number…</p>

7

<p>If your school does require a pre-req, I suggest history of medicine/science or Bioethics</p>

<p>whheex, I assume you are in the school of Arts and Sciences right? Call this number:</p>

<p>(802) 656-3344</p>

<p>Just tell them you want to get into Chem and Bio courses. Don’t hang up if they give you some BS excuse. Be persistent. </p>

<p>Make sure you know which block you want and also pick out a Lab for both classes.</p>

<p>thanks! where’d you find that?</p>

<p>^ UVM Website under Academics > Schools&Colleges > College of Arts and Sciences > Contact Us</p>

11

<p>lol… so simple -.-"</p>

<p>do you think they will also have phone advisors?</p>

12

<p>^ I assume you’re pre-med right? (Makes sense cause this is a pre-med forum section)</p>

<p>I don’t know if advisors are available now. But if you want advice on what classes to take and at what time to take them, I can def help out since I am pre-dental and it is basically the same.</p>

<p>I found this 2 page thing VERY helpful: <a href=“http://www.uvm.edu/academics/programs/premed/premedprofile.pdf[/url]”>http://www.uvm.edu/academics/programs/premed/premedprofile.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

13

<p>that was very helpful. thanks!
i see why you’re taking bio and chem now and not physics first.</p>

14

<p>oh and yes, i’m pre-med</p>

15

<p>Lol, I am going to try to hold off on physics for a long time. I hate it lol.</p>

16

<p>lol physics is the greatest</p>
