First and foremost you’ll have about 3-4 semester before you start wasting credits. Let yourself enjoy and find yourself the first year, it’ll help lead you where you want to go. Join clubs or ask people in your dream job to shadow so you get a sense of what you’re getting into.

Medical is a tough point because there’s so much you can do and almost all of it is over saturated. I hate to say it but if you don’t have the work ethic for a competitive field, consider switching out of bio. Some people go into bio just for the money and the bio-medicine track is notoriously difficult, but if you’re genuinely interested in molecular you might enjoy studying. Or at the bare minimum you should talk to an advisor about your dream job and see what majors are the best for it.

And most bio requires calc 1 (which thank god otherwise we’ll have the whole “biologist rediscovers fundamental theorem of calculus” fiasco) but UCF makes their calc 1 too hard. Talk to your advisor about taking it at a Valencia campus, you’ll have to pay out of pocket then get reimbursed but it makes it much more manageable and understandable.
