So i only need A&P2 and Micro left before I can start to apply to the associates program at my school. I was planning on taking Micro in the 6 week summer session after this semester and then A&P2 in the fall and then start to apply cause i know it will take more than one application to get in. My anatomy teacher scared me cause he over heard me talking about it and said to be careful not to try and get classes done so fast cause I may screw myself and if I get a bad grade (because it is only 6 weeks) I could screw myself for getting in the program. What is your advice I really just want to start applying and if I don't take Micro in the summer I will need to take it in the spring which will dely me starting to apply... im not sure what to do. At first I thought i'd be okay because it would be my only class and I could really focus on it and I have been doing good in all my sciences so far like AP1 i have an A i just got a 100 on my bones practical.. Has anyone ever taken Micro in a summer session of 6 weeks? How was it?! Opinions? Thanks!

Oh my! 14 years later I am in the exact same situation! Currently taking Microbiology in for Summer. 2 week in of a 6 weeks class and I feel very overwhelmed! Not taken A & P yet. I plan on taking Anatomy in the fall. I am so lost and feel like I should drop it now. What are your thoughts?
