What classes should I be taking in Community College?

Pre-Med & Medical School Pre-Med Topics

<p>I want to maybe do a double major in Biology and Economics, or Biology and Biomedical Engineering. I'm currently attending my local community college as I can't afford a school right now. My current schedule is:</p>

<p>Principles of Cellular and Molecular Biology
General Physics I
Composition I
Elementary French I</p>

<p>What other classes would anyone recommend I take at my community college (assuming I stay there for another 2 or 3 semesters)? I'm scared that if I take more upper level biology courses like; Biology of Org. Human Anatomy & Physiology, Gen Chemistry I and II, etc.... I will be looked down upon by the adcoms.</p>

<p>Does anyone know the basic layouts of these majors and post the General Education requirements for them and recommend what classes I should take. I've been reading here that people take Gen Ed courses at community colleges and then transfer and take upper/towards their major courses at a 4 yr University.</p>

<p>My schedule for Freshman second semester is:</p>

<p>Composition II
Biology of Organisms
General Chemistry I w/Lab
Calculus I
Elementary French II</p>

<p>would this schedule be wise? Thanks for anyone who has advice to offer.</p>

<p>i you end up doing a double major in bio and BME, you will need to take almost all your pre med requirements are a CC (biology, g. chemistry, o chemistry, physics). If biology/econ, you can get away with taking physics at the 4 year.</p>

<p>unless you transfer as a sophomore or something, you will need those classes to justify you transferring and meeting those requirements.</p>

<p>also, most community colleges do not offer “upper level” classes in any field.
if you are worried, simply take the class when you are at the 4 year.</p>

<p>So I should take all the other Prerequisites at my Community College and wait to take Physics at the 4yr? If I wait to take most of the prerequisites at a 4 yr. I’ll end up taking the MCAT at the end of my Senior Yr. How does that work out? GAHHHHHH, Really stressed out right now. I don’t know what to do.</p>
