Hello! I am planning on applying in the Fall of 09' and I still have to take Microbiology Physiology and Organic Chemistry. I am currently enrolled in Microbiology and Physiology for this semester with the plan of taking Organic Chemistry in the Spring of 09'. I am now wondering if it would be easier to take just Physiology (in terms of science classes) this semester and take Microbiology with Organic Chemistry instead. Thank you all in advance for any advice I am very curious about which set of classes would be more manageable.

This is just my opinion, but I think your idea of micro + organic chem is a good one. I took o-chem/biochem this summer and boy am I glad I did because it's a great basis for understanding physiology. This fall I am taking micro, A&P and Cell Biology. Good luck!

From what I've heard from others, physio seems to be one of the more difficult sciences, so I personally would go for micro and chem together. But if you want to get it out of the way now so you don't have to do it next semester it probably won't be a huge problem, and you'll be glad when you don't have to do two sciences in spring.

And another thing...

at my school, chemistry is a prereq for physio. There is probably a good reason for that, so taking them together might complement eachother.

i took spring of 09, intro to inorganic chem (online) and a&p II (online) and made a B and A....it's doable
