Take Micro. I would save A& P for the fall because you have to learn all the bones and muscles and all the major systems and that is too much for the summer.

They say AP2 is easier but I beg to differ. NC is right though take Micro in the summer info is more straight forward as opposed to AP2.

Some schools require that you take A&P as a pre-req before Micro. I would ask your school if that's their policy before you sign up for either.

I'm finishing Micro and it overlapped with the second half of A&P 1 and A&P2. I'm in the boat that says A&P 2 is way easier- it's all organ systems, no bones, muscles, or tricky nervous system physiology. If you work hard, I think you could handle Micro & A&P2 at the same time. But, don't overwhelm yourself and burnout!
