Hello, I'm an incoming freshman and am really confused about planning for classes. For context, I'm a premed at CAS, and looking at the classes I need to take for the MCAT, as well as the core, I'd be taking like 18 credits minimum per semester, which is way too many. From my understanding, I need to finish the core before junior year, and if I want to take the MCAT junior year, I'd want most of my premed classes done before junior as well.

I was wondering if I could get some help or direction? I know I'm doing things wrong but I don't know why.

Hello. I was looking at pre-orientation programs, and both look really fun. On one hand, the volunteering in foci is really appealing, but I also care a lot about healthcare equity, which CURA specifically talks about.

I was wondering if anyone with experience in these programs would be willing to give me some advice or knowledge on these programs

Hello! I'm an incoming freshman and would really appreciate it if any premed students/alumni would be willing to talk about applying to med school. My family is mostly engineers, so I'm kind of flying blind here lol.
