I got my acceptance letter to Emory over the holidays. I'm very excited about attending Fall 2006!
I have two pre-reqs left to complete and I'm a bit worried that I might be in a pickle. Here's the deal:
I've been re-taking some pre-reqs at Georgia Perimeter that were too old to qualify for the program. I retook A&P II last spring and Micro this past fall semester. For Emory, I need to take, according to their website, General Chemistry I and General Chemistry II (with an organic component). They had said at the open house that a nutrition class I had might qualify for the Chem II, but it looks like it didn't.
My first question to anyone who might know is: Does Survey of Chemistry II qualify for the "General Chemistry II (with an organic component)" requirement?
Supposing it does, I can register for Survey of Chemistry I at GPC for the spring semester. However, I don't think Survey of Chemistry II is offered in the summer at GPC, which leaves me in a bit of a bind. Anyone think they would let me take Chem I and II concurrently since I have 3 higher level sciences than Chem I and 3 higher level math classes than the pre-req for Chem I? Or, does anyone think I can take Survey of Chem I at GPC and then Survey of Chem II at GA State as a transient student in the summer? (The GPC and GA State Survey of Chem classes seem almost identical.)
Ok, enough rambling....just having a bit of a panic attack here. Thanks in advance for any advice/suggestions/etc.!
All I know is I'm REAL glad its not an organic chemistry pre-test instead. I just about had a nervous breakdown that semester, O. chem II, O. chem II lab, Physics II, physics II lab... it was the semester I decided not to go to medical school... I just got up and walked out of my physics II quiz one day when I realized all the coked out backstabbing pre-meds were cheating. All of them! It was the straw that broke the camel's back.
I never want to think about either of those classes again!

They were like flies to sh!t. Same here but on a smaller scale. I was in the Marine Corps in EE equiv (Avioncs though) school so most of the physics in the class I knew like the back of my hand. The pre-med/pre-pharm/pre-dent kids would literally walk up to my seat and ask me for the answer! The professor said that he had an honor system and he would even walk out of the class for up to ten minutes at a time. The girl that sat next to me basically followed me through all of my classes (both Phys, All Chems, Stats) and studied hard with me so I wasn't so worried if she peaked or not but all of the premee students were drooling over me for the answers and how to do them. I kind of felt sorry for them later that semester because the tests got hard but still...
