<p>Gina,</p>
<p>DS went in with an idea of what he wanted. He was discouraged from taking a few of the things he wanted to take, like a language. He, like you is a full Banneker/Key. He was told that they are going to help him achieve his med school goal and this was the way to do it. Period. They will also discuss with you certian expectations they have from their full Banneker/Keys. He took their advice. He made a 5 on his Calc AP’s and is still taking Cal 1. He aced the UMD Math Placement test, but is taking it for the GPA boost. His Honors class is Bio and is also taking Chem. Wait and hear your advisor out. Everyone is different and I don’t think anyone here can say what is best for you or my DS. You know your strengths, struggles, and weaknesses. That’s not to say that the advisors know it all either, but DS understood after talking with him, why he was suggesting what he was suggesting. We’ll see how things go this semester.</p>
