<p>LOL that sounds like a fun semester. </p>
<p>Why not spread that stuff out a little bit more? It's your first semester in college and those are important classes if you think you're interested in medical school. You don't even know if you want to major in any of those subjects.</p>
<p>I vote drop bio and take an easy, fun class that fills a req or a language. Gen Chem is good for Orgo I've heard, and many pre-meds take Bio second year. Also, I'm pretty sure both bio and chem majors have to take the intro chem and bio courses, so taking one or the other doesn't put you at a loss.</p>
<p>Tadd:</p>
<p>You may very well be able to add the Biology Lab (and associated Lab Lecture) when ISIS ropens for all students in mid-August. Another option would be to email Mr. Kittlesen and see if you can get into the Lab that way. If neither of those options work, you could look to do a Course Add once classes begin. That might be a bit difficult, as the Biol 203 Lab is generally fully enrolled.</p>
<p>If you wait to take Biology your second year, you'll likely be taking it at the same time you're enrolled in Organic Chemistry and Organic Chemistry Lab, which are right challenging classes. If you're a dedicated student with an aptitude for science subjects, I think it works well to get the two intro level Biology and Chemistry classes out of the way your first year. However, be forewarned that taking both of these classes and the associated labs at the same time requires a lot of work. If you want to do well in the classes grade wise (which you'll need to do if you plan to apply to Med school), count on working hard you first year.</p>
<p>More food for thought. Best wishes with whatever you choose!</p>
