First off, thanks Matt for taking time out of your busy schedule to post helpful answers :)

So my first question is, when would be the best time to consider doing study abroad if you’re pre-med? I was thinking summer between soph and junior years, but even then fitting in research and volunteer and EC make it a tight fit (I’m also a philosophy major…)

Second question is, in terms of the MCAT, if one had to pick between Cell Biology and Gen. Microbiology, which would your recommend as more helpful (I understand that it’s recommended to take both…but that’s probably not an option).

Also, what is the most hours a semester you’ve ever taken as an undergrad. How doable was it?
