Question!!!!!

<p>What are good classes to take over the summer for credits if I am majoring in biological sciences & going into premed???</p>

<p>Any class that requires a lab, like inorganic chemistry. Labs zap your time when you are taking a full 16 units and it makes it easier to get those types of classes out of the way in the summer.</p>

<p>I took organic chemistry in the summer at Oxy and credits transfered to USC. That was a long time ago though so you would need to double check with USC to see if that is still possible.</p>

<p>I would also imagine that there are some general ed classes that would transfer to USC. Getting those out of the way would also be a good thing.</p>

<p>Hmmm. I was actually considering chemistry.</p>

<p>Thanks for the advice!</p>

<p>Taking any AP classes?</p>

<p>[USC</a> ARR : Articulation : AP Waiver of Course Pre- or Corequisites](<a href=“http://www.usc.edu/dept/ARR/articulation/apprerequisites.html]USC”>http://www.usc.edu/dept/ARR/articulation/apprerequisites.html)</p>

<p>Oh! Thanks for the link! It’s very helpful.</p>

<p>Definitely do your language requirement over the summer if you are unable to pass out of it.</p>

<p>Also you can take classes that satisfy categories I, II, V (Don’t worry about III cause part of your major and you will satisfy it during your first semester, and they don’t allow you to pass out of IV or VI).</p>

<p>Sarararah, if you check out TransferTrojan?'s link in post #4 above you will find this disclaimer for pre-meds. Before you take Chemistry or any other foundational class make sure you consult your advisor"</p>

<p>“It is important that students consider carefully whether it is in their best interest to enroll in foundational courses, or use AP credit to move directly to higher level courses. For example, students planning to apply to medical school may want to enroll in foundational chemistry and biology courses, regardless of the AP credit they may have earned, in order to have these courses appear on their USC transcript for the purpose of medical school admissions. If you are a potential pre-med, please discuss this issue with your advisor.”</p>
