what's it like to be a pre-med student? how many hours a day to study? what classes to take?

Question

I am currently a senior at high school. I have a 4.2 GPA weighted and 3.7 GPA unweighted. I hope I get accepted to UCLA. I passed 8 AP exams out of 13, passing (AP French Lang 4, AP Spanish Lang 3, AP SPanish Lit. 3, AP World History 3, AP US History 3, AP Biology 4, AP Physics 4, AP Chemistry 5). I feel that I have good study habits. I work until 1 am everyday studying for my science classes. Am I on a good tract for a pre-med student?

I almost never work beyond 1 am. I sleep 6 hours waking up at 7am. But will it be necessary in college to go even beyond 2am or 3am? even if I have good work habits?

Answer 1

Everyone's study habits are different. It sounds like you are on the right track to me. I think you'll do fine. Just be flexible and see what works when you get into college.

My husband didn't work (that I know of! lol) as much as you are now when he was a premed...and he did really well!

I'd also encourage you to get involved in some clubs or sports--med schools like students who have a diverse resume and extracurriculars.

Answer 2

I am a senior pre-med major, it can be very difficult and time consuming at times. Most US med schools require 1 yr bio w/lab,1 yr gen chem with lab, 1 yr organic chem w/lab, 1 yr algebra based physics w/lab and some calculus. These are all required on top of your schools general education and major requirements. You sound like a hard worker and should succeed.
P.S. Have fun with Organic Chemistry

Answer 3

I even have not often considered somebody bypass away scientific college as a results of fact it became so perplexing that they only could not do it. to easily get into scientific college demands passing distinctive tests, purposes, interviews, and so on. as quickly as in, few persons are content fabric with failure. My factor right here, is that the journey itself will coach you the place you stand. in case you provide up at any factor, then it wasn't meant to be.
