I will be a sophomore this fall. I took Gen Chem last year. I put a lot of them into it and did well. This year I want to take either Bio + Orgo or Bio + Phys. Students from my school say that Bio + Phys is the easier combination because one is qualitative and the other is qualitative, versus both Bio and Orgo are qualitative and require much memorizing. However, Orgo is required if I want to take Biochem my junior year, which I heard is helpful for MCAT.

So, I’m in a dilemma. If I were to choose to take either Orgo or Phys with Bio my sophomore year and leave the other one for junior year (and take MCAT by the end of junior year), which one is better from all aspects, ex. percentage/importance on MCAT, course load, etc.???

I am thinking about a Bio major. THanks!!!
