If you’re concerned about being behind academically with a spring admission, you should take a look at the suggested/sample course schedules for BCS (assuming you’re going to do BCS and not neuroscience–which is also offered thru the BCS dept.)

[BCS Undergraduate Program: Example B.S. Course Schedules](Example BS Course Schedule : Undergraduate Programs : Brain and Cognitive Sciences : University of Rochester)

You’ll have a bit of bottleneck since 3 of the courses typically take as freshmen are only offered in the fall. (Bio 110 or 112, Chem 131 and BCS 110) But BCS 111 does not require any of those as pre-reqs so you can move on in the spring.

Bio 110, Chem 131 are both offered during the summer if you want to use that time to catch-up, but you could also simply triple up on your sciences during fall of your sophomore year and not be behind. Also the BCS dept will allow use of AP credits for Chem 131. (Not sure if BCS allows Bio AP credit. Some depts accept it; some don’t.)
