Taking two science classes at once

Hello guys! I have a quick question. Okay so here's the deal. I am a first semester freshman right now. I am currently taking A&P 1, sociology, English 1, and computer literacy ( a requirement at my school for my ADN). I have all A's as of now and a 105 average in A&P 1. My professor has even asked me to be a supplemental instructor next semester for her future students. I plan on transferring next year to a four year school. Most schools like to see that you have taken A&P 1 and 2 as well as health chem(a combo of general, organic, and biochem). I was wondering if anyone has taken anatomy and physiology along with health chemistry and how hard was it to take both of them together? I would only have 4 classes next semester. The two sciences, intro to psych, and a philosophy class. I would like to get A's in all my classes. I took a CP chemistry class in high school and got a B+ or A-, but I also didn't study as much as I could have. Do I have a chance of getting all A's next semester? Is it possible?

At most 4 year universities, one is expected to take at least take 2 sciences every semester otherwise it would take more than 4 years to graduate.

Last fall this was my schedule: A&P II, micro, english comp, algebra, and a student success class. I got all A's and 1 B in the micro. This past spring I took, Advanced Physiology, Intermediate Algebra, Psych 101, and sociology. All A's. It is very possible to do well in all of your classes with 2 sciences. You gotta do what you gotta do to get in.

I absolutely think it's possible depending on how much time and effort you are prepared to spend. My schedule this coming semester is A&P II, Micro, English, Theater Appreciation, and Speech.

Of course it is.

I have seen many students having trouble with Physiology because they didn't have a background knowledge of chemistry. I took health chem before A&P and so it was a breeze for me. But taking them together will be fine because you'll sort of be learning similar stuff together. You sound like a hardworking and committed student, so I think you'll do fine.
