[Nfb-science] science question

[Salisbury, Justin Mark]

Hi Gina,

    I entered college thinking that I wanted to eventually become a physical therapist or chiropractor.  I began the traditional pre-med track, taking the introductory course in molecular biology and its corresponding lab.  In my second semester, I took general  chemistry I and its corresponding lab.  I have left the lab sciences in favor of applied math, but I did enjoy the bio and chem lectures.  I took them in that order because my advisor told me that it was the normal first-semester course to take for my interests.  I took gen chem one because a chemistry course was required for the third semester's first-level anatomy course, and I did not want to go to summer school.  I'll admit that my advisor was not pleased when I told her that I would postpone the second freshman bio course, but I did what was best for the interests of time.

Good luck with your proposal!

Justin

Gina,
I came in to college knowing I wanted to be a human biology major. So my first class was intro biology, which lasted two semesters. I took general chemistry (2 semesters) Cell Cycle Disease and AGing, one semester of organic chemistry, cell biology, and genetics.
