<p>I’d say that most premeds probably do the fast track. That means intro bio and gen chem freshman year. Physics and orgo sophomore year. This means you can spend the summer after your sophomore year studying for the MCAT. Most students probably don’t take the MCAT that early but they do finish the 4 science courses I mentioned above in 2 years. If you plan to graduate early, you definitely should do the fast track. If you’re graduating in the normal 4 years (like me), you can relax the final two years w/o having to worry about med school prereqs or the MCAT.</p>
<p>Some of your advisors may tell you not to double up on sciences your freshman year or not to take physics and orgo together. I just call them wusses.</p>
