Too much for a semester

Pre-Med & Medical School Pre-Med Topics

<p>I go to a top public university and is notoriously competitive. I want to know, from you experience premeds, if this class choice is too much for a semester. In other words if this is a too heavy course load. </p>

<p>These are the classes:
Calc Based Physics I
Intro Bio ( weeder class) W/O Lab
Calc II
Some Soc science class.</p>

<p>Thanks and I want to say its an honor to be a part of this forum.</p>

<p>I think it's a reasonable course load if you are better adjusted than most freshmen. I personally would not take 3 pre-med requisites in my first semester but if you are confident in your time managing abilities you should be fine.</p>

<p>Actually I will be a sophomore, I just transferred into this university.</p>

<p>it looks pretty decent and manageable to me..</p>

<p>You should be fine, but I'm saying that based on my own experience.</p>

<p>Only you know what you can and cannot handle.</p>

<p>Yeah I thought It would be ok too. But my adviser said it was too much considering the difficulty of the school.... I'll just say the school- University of Michigan- Ann Arbor.</p>

<p>haha...i guessed right then...
obviously you are going to have to work your butt off or the other pre-meds there will eat you....</p>

<p>but when it comes down to it...again, you now what you are capable of..</p>

<p>Your comment about pre meds eating me scares me. I think if it was any other college in Michigan I am able to do it without thinking twice. But everyone is scaring me, including my adviser, but I don't see anything wrong. But I must reiterate that I will be a new transfer this Fall so I don't really know what its like at Ann Arbor.</p>

<p>So. let me rephrase this question. Would you do it?</p>

<p>In the program I'm in, we have our schedule pretty much set for us with no room to move around classes.</p>

<p>This past semester (Soph semester 2) I ended up having to take:
Organic Chem 2
Differential Equations
Electric Circuit Theory
Molecular Cell Bio & Biotechnology
Intro to Probability Systems & Statistics.</p>

<p>It suuuucked, but I survived.</p>
