Hello everyone I'm applying for an post back program and I currently have the following classs to take

  1. A&P 1
  2. A&P 2
  3. Nutrution (I plan to take online )
  4. microbiology
  5. biochemistry

My program starts May 2019 so I have 4 semesters including the summer to complete. My five classes. I'm a wife and a new mom. I also work a full time job however I won't be working full time as of May 2018. I know that I'll have to choose one of the classes to take over the summer which one should it be??? Please help!!!

I would take the nutrition course over the summer if that is available. The other classes are going to have labs along with the lectures and cramming all of that information in the shorter summer semester may be more challenging.

But I have to take one of the harder classes over the summer bc the program starts in may 19

Unless I double up one semester

First, check to see which of them is available during the summer if you are going to have to take one of them in the summer. Some schools don't offer all of those in the summer semester. I took microbiology with my A&P 1 class and it was manageable.

You already know you're accepted may 2019? I had to have all those classes completed before I was even able to apply.

I took chem and AP I together and it was tough but manageable. I had a 1 yr old and was pregnant that semester. The nutrition class was online and very easy so I wouldn't sweat that one.

I was required to take chem before micro, so I'd check if that is required by your school also, wouldn't want to try to take those together the last semester if one is a pre-req to the other.

Also check to make sure you have all of your pre-reqs in place to get into your listed classes above. My pre-reqs took longer then expected because I had to either test out or take the pre-req that would allow me to register for Micro and A&P.
