Okay, I made it through the summer, I got a possible C in chemistry and not sure if I want to take it over again to get a B. I'm thinking about itanyway, My schedule for the Fall 2009 is going to be:Human Anatomy 1Organic ChemistryPsychologyStatisticsdo you think I should hold off on the Statistics? I am almost done with my pre reqs and I just want to get this over with. I figure if I take statistics then I'll only have two classes left to take in the Winter 2010

I am taking API and Gen Chem II-premed this semester along with some upper level English course and two other classes I need. I am a little apprehensive about taking premed line chembut I have no choice. All the nursing chems are full. I plan in doing well.Stats is not that hard. Just study...besides I am sure you will fell better knowing that you will have only 2 prereqs left.If I had time I would do things differently however I don't have the luxury.Are you applying to a ASN, BSN, or direct-entry prgram?

Anatomy and Chemistry can be challenging as they involve lots of memorization but psychology is a relatively easy course and the material is interesting which helps. If you are good at math then Statistics won't be too much of a challenge for you either. I love math and enjoyed my Statistics course and passed with an A. Best of Luck!

I'm no math whiz and I thought stats was not that difficult. Seems like a doable schedule to me. Good luck!
