Yup!! I’ll be taking that along with only 8 other units. I think the difficulty of schedules varies from student to student. There is no right or wrong way to go through it. I personally like only doing 12-16 units at MAX because I am better at focusing on getting A’s in a few classes as opposed to a bunch because I feel I need a well rounded lifestyle to succeed. Too much of one thing for me sort of makes me crash and burn.

You obviously have a stricter regime to follow so you should go by what gets you to graduate when you want to. But, if you had flexibility, you should go for what can maximize your success. The reason I opposed both of those classes together is because, personally, it took me a ****load of time to memorize everything in metabolic biochemistry. It’s material is basically memorizing all the pathways, enzymes, molecular structures, and then applying all the pathways to problem solving, so it will definitely take up more time than, say a physics class thats just concepts and problem solving. Mamphys 2 may not be as bad for you if you didn’t think mamphys 1 was that much of a time killer. I think you can definitely do that schedule. Don’t however, go with chem7L on top of both the 102’s cuz those 3 classes together is already a quarter-long sentence to Geisel everyday without break.

Congrats on the RA Biz, and no posts bug me unless they are irrational attacks at people haha.
