You’ll have a ton of room to challenge yourself on the Bio side rather than the Wharton side especially if you pursue biochemistry. You can place out of a lot of intro classes with a placement exam and start taking advanced coursework very early on. 5.5 cu is definitely not challenging with the courses you take first semester but courses like Writing Seminar have a lot of busywork and will take up a lot of time. Just live it up first semester and let your mind be at peace knowing that second semester you can take up to 7 cu realistically if you want to. The 4 years will be enough time to pursue whatever degrees and majors/concentrations you want to if you plan correctly.
