Biology instead of Chemistry?

Published

Woooo! SO many questions for you guys. BUT, I just spoke with my advisor, and she told me that I could take Survey of Biology I and II instead of Survery of Chemistry. Pros and cons of this decision? If I go with Bio, I'll actually be able to start this semester, but if Chemistry is absolutely crucial later on, then I'm not entirely sure what I should do. However, the program wouldn't give us this option if it didn't give us the information we need, right?

Math Modeling doesn't require time at the MILE, and Psych is an online course. I've got 115 hours under my belt, so I'm fairly confident that this course load will be comfortable for me. Psych, Stats, and the other math course will be an absolute breeze! I definitely intend to spend most of my time on Micro and Biology. I do work full time, but I don't consider entry level classes to equal a full course load after dealing with 4000 level Anthropology courses from hell, hahah.

And my GPA is totally secure at this point! Luckily, even a C couldn't really bring it down. It's super padded from already having my residency hours in.

Thanks so much for the help, though, guys! I definitely wouldn't recommend this many hours to someone starting out, but if it's too much, I'll withdraw from one of the math courses.

Take both the bio and the chem - you'll be better prepared. Admittedly, my undergrad was in Molecular and Cellular Biology, so I'm a little biased.

I will if I have time, but I'm out of scholarship money and in a bit of a rush. Really wish I'd taken one of the two instead of Astronomy during my first year.
