AP2, Microbiology, Microcomputers

Published

I'm hoping to get into the July 2009 program with SWGTC. My gpa is a 2.78, 2.5 required to get in so Im hoping I can get in. This upcoming semester Im taking AP2, Microbiology and Microcomputers. Anyone have any advice. I sure hope I get into the July program, not sure when Ill know.

rn2b, do you work? if you do, i would consider not taking one of the classes you listed. it requires alot of study time if you want to get as. if you don' t work or work 20hrs, then maybe.

no i dont work...and dont have much of a social life...i think its doable, but i dont want it to hurt my grades...my main concerns are micro and the chem class.

Is micro more "memorization" vs. "physiology" as in A& P? For instance, in anatomy II, you have to know how one system inter-relates and works with another where as in anotomy I it seemed to be more memorization skills.

Yes, it is more memorization. I haven't had any processes to study. However, it makes sense so it is not so hard at least after the first part. The first part deals with the types of cells, the cell walls, the differences between Eukaryotes and Prokaryotes etc.

It is just a lot of info to remember. I haven't found it hard, just lots of info. many people may disagree but if you study every other day and stay on top of the lecture/notes, you will be fine. AP2, I found to be easier. Chemistry, can't say.

not much time at all, really. maybe a couple of hours a week. i always prioritized a&p 2 if time became an issue. i walked out with a's in both. i felt like a lot of the material overlapped. we didn't go over the immune system until a&p2, not 1. so, when we started to discuss the immune system in micro, i put my feet up and chimed in the most out of my class :) a lot of it worked out like that.

good luck!!

Everyone is Different; what may be considered 'easy' and 'doable' for some may be

a whole different scenario for you.

I am re-taking both Micro and APII right now, and let me tell you, there is Nothing easy about it at all.

I'm counting the days for this horrible semester to be over, hope it will be better

for you.
