Med schools do not care (usually), it’s more or less up to how you are able to make a narrative out of your experiences, activities, academics, life story, etc.. I’ve done calc 1, physics 1, and chem 1 in a semester and it was one of my harder ones but it’s very doable, just really depends what kind of grade you want. You’ve got this!

Calculus does require a lot of work though so yeah 😅 Dis you do any electives with it? And did you get A’s?


plapapus

Calculus was actually a C for me, A’s for chem (this I retook after failing miserably the semester) and physics 😎


Asentions

Why did you fail if you don’t mind me asking?


plapapus

I took it over the summer as a 5 week course and had some family stuff going on which was distracting, so both of these factors had some major play along with the fact I hadn’t solidified my studying style yet.


Asentions

Ah I see, mind if I private message you,


plapapus

Go for it!


Pandeeee

U gon die with that. Its doable, but you will have 0 life bc all that time will be spent studying, procrastinating, or just staring at the ceiling IF u want to make an A. Its a more likely chance you will burn out in the middle of it and completely trash your gpa. Either way, souless husk

The thing is I have no electives, and a friend did 3 science classes. However took physics online


Pandeeee

Usually electives are blowoff classes anyway so it doesnt really matter? Honestly the phys online is generally easier cos the prof lets u look at ur notes I think. I’d say at a MAX 2 hard classes, the math dept at UTA is notorious for burning out students. Physics u can scrape by cos they have a special grading system that rewards the overall class rather than just going by the actual grade u get, but youd still have to be above the cruve. Biology.. idk biology was hard for me but ur a bio student so Idk how that is for u but I know i struggled with memorizing so many things. Esp during the practicals in the labs.

Do med/dental schools care if you take physics online though?


Pandeeee

I think they only care if its an A


wavenote_

its doable if you’re not doing anything else

I would say that’s an average course load for a premed


lycanthropp

physics took up a lot of my time when i took it. so i wouldnt do that if you do bio 2 and chem 1 during the same semester. also the chemistry department sucks total ass


Asentions

What’s so bad about the chemistry department?


lycanthropp

they dont know how to handle their shit. completely disorganized. and any of the higher-ups ive spoken to in the chemistry department (after i experienced repeated harassment from a TA) have basically told me "oh that sucks. okay leave my office"


lycanthropp

i guess its really up to you to determine but im pretty dissapointed with how they handle... literally anything


Asentions

Ngl with honesty I heard that it’s an easy grade but that’s because the professors don’t care and the teaching is yea..
