About how many classes do you take each semester?

If you are pre med, make sure it is OK to use AP to satisfy medical school requirements. I’m not sure if it is or not but a friend of mine had a 5 in AP bio but still chose to take bio101 because he was afraid some med schools would not accept AP credit. I’m not sure which med schools care or if any really do, so just keep that in mind/find out from a legit source.

To answer your question though, the minimum credits needed per semester is 12, and I think the average is around 15 cred/semester. Not counting PE I’ve taken 15-17 credits per semester(bio major) and it is doable to take 18-19 but I wouldn’t advise doing it your first semester here, or if you have mostly sciences.

15 credits is probably 4 courses including FWS.

And yes, definitely doable to have more than one science/semester.

And finally, I recommend 208 unless you have a burning desire for chemistry.
