need an easy filler course

I appreciate your honesty, tulanechild. I think my problem is that I love biology a lot more than I like chemistry, which I guess just isn’t gonna fly. I’m not really sure what to do now then… Just drop chem and say screw pre-med? Regardless, I don’t really know what to add, so back to the original post, any more ideas would be great.

The reason I am so concerned about course load is I feel like everyone is always talking about their filler classes, and rarely have a schedule packed with legitimately hard or tedious classes.

You’re clearly a top student at Tulane, which I won’t be able to say when I show up. I’ll be pretty average; I didn’t take a bunch of AP’s in high school, I just showed up and got A’s in standard classes and rode my 2100 to a scholarship. I’ve never really been an overachiever in school, so I guess that contributes to my hesitancy in taking these science courses right away. Seeing kids like you who love every aspect of science and are thriving is definitely making me realize that maybe I’m just not committed enough for premed. So… where do I go from here?
