Is this a reasonable freshman/sophmore schedule?

I am a senior and I working on deciding courses for next year (I am really excited about college). I am majoring in biochemistry with plans of attending pharmacy school. I love the chem and the biology but I am not great at math (currently in pre-cal) so I am going to take another year of pre-cal to improve my chance of making a good grad in Calc. I’m not a CC genius (1800 SAT and 3.6 gpa) so I am not taking a huge course load or jumping head first into extremely difficult classes.

I have taken bio I and II, Chem I, and Intro Soc through dual enrollment at my local CC (which I have 4.0 with 25 credits). I feel confident in my eco/evo biology but less so in my cell/molecular biology so I want to retake my Bio II and I want a firmer foundation in my Chm I.

I guess I am mainly worried because all of the “screwed up freshman year” threads.
