Tennessee has HOPE scholarship? Wow, I only thought Georgia had it.

Also, as for taking 2 at a time, unless you are not a science major, isn’t that unavoidable (not only unavoidable, but it is recommended that you do it at some point in time. Many schools would recommend the summer option not be abused and that students at least double up once or twice and show success)? I mean, usually I see physics and ochem paired because most people at my school take bio and chem together (There are starting to be some chem/physics freshman combos due to the new MCAT, so these folks will take one summer core and then come back and likely double with ochem or bchem and something else sophomore year). Biochem gets combined with whatever other science courses are needed for their major or are useful for the MCAT (like microbiology or what used to be human physiology and/or a neuroscience course). Sometimes biochemistry is taken with organic chemistry II, do other schools just have a different culture of pre-med? honestly thought students at my school were actually quite soft and squeamish even after accounting for what was needed for pre-med. Also, I’ve seen plenty of students on this forum report taking 2-3 STEMs at a time. Not necessarily pre-med cores, but some classes were actually harder than the cores, even accounting for grading.
