Is my schedule good enough for Med school?

Im a freshman and will be taking History 101, chemistry 101, psychology 100 and math 150 (precalculus level). These are all freshmen classes to my understanding. Do you think this schedule is good enough for my first semester when I have medical school in mind? Should I use one of my AP credits (for chemistry), and is doing so a good idea? Do people who get into med school have 200 classes in their first semester of college?

doesn’t really matter what you take as an undergraduate if you want to goto med school. Most important thing is to get a degree that you think will help you in med school and get a good GPA. After that, get a good MCAT score and off you go. Med schools will not care what you take as a freshman at all because most of the courses you are taking are general courses anyways, they mean nothing.

These courses are fine for your first year. Your semester by semester schedule doesn’t matter as long as you have planned out your undergraduate career according to the minimum requirements for the MCAT and Medical school. You need to check with your school’s premedical adviser to make sure these classes apply for medical school. I took a freshman Biology early that did not apply to the Biology credits required for med school.

There is a nice excel spreadsheet here: http://premedstudent.net/calendar.html that can help you organize your college career. Make sure you get the prereq’s in place before you take the MCAT and especially before Medical School. Good luck!

That;s a good looking schedule. If I were you, I might want to add one more class, just because of the great things it can do for me in the future. Taking one more class, knocks out one more requirement. So when it is time for you to study for the MCAT and other things, you can spend more time studying instead of taking the required classes.

Enjoy!

and of course

Cheers!

i’m sorry which you may desire to make this determination. I certainly have a Golden and she or he’s 9.5 years previous. I dreading the day that I might desire to make this style of determination. i made a decision interior the final couple of years that i could no longer jeopardize my financial difficulty for my puppy. I have been given my canine while she grew to become into 9 weeks previous. even although she is a factor of my existence and my relatives, i can not bypass bankrupt over her. that could sound rash, yet you may desire to stay your existence too. Do you fairly think of she has a reliable high quality of existence? could you elect to stay this way?
