<p>Dr. Sedrish or anybody who can help:</p>
<p>At my school (see my username) about half of the pre-med students were advised to take both chem and bio as freshmen and half were told to just take one. Unfortunately, I was in the latter half of these groups and took only chemistry for my first year. My question is, how do I now fit all 4 required sciences in by the end of my junior year?</p>
<p>One of my advisors says to take bio and orgo as sophomores. </p>
<p>My second advisor tells me to try to find an alternate solution, as orgo and bio together would be very difficult. </p>
<p>The only time my school allows students to take classes at another school is the summer after freshman year. Would it be very much looked down upon if I take biology this summer at a less competitive yet reputable institution such as the University of Maryland? </p>
<p>If the answer to the above question is "No, it would be looked down upon by medical schools" what do you think about the following schedule:</p>
<p>Freshman: full year of chem & calculus
Sophomore: full year of orgo
Summer after: first semesters of both bio and physics at EMORY
Junior: second semesters of both bio and physics</p>
<p>With this schedule, I would still be taking everything at EMORY and I would be finished with all my required sciences in and have the entire spring semester to study for the MCAT and take another extra science class to help in preparation.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
