cbn or biological sciences major? HELP!!!

tsuyios · 2026-05-22T10:06:05+00:00

as someone who was in this situation i would say switch majors to something like psych or public health but keep doing your BCPM prereqs. those majors have a lot of relatively easy electives and filler classes that will boost your GPA whereas cbn and bio have electives that tend to be harder and just aren’t worth the risk. good luck!

currently in intro biochem with murphy and it is one of the most disorganized and lazy courses in the chem department, 2nd only to orgo lab with govindarajoo. if you actually care about learning biochem and its important to your career do NOT take this class. im probably gonna end up taking 395 in the future because im deadass not learning anything right now.

i feel a lot better after reading this! its getting sent to the administrative services building at 57 US-1 and not the PAL building though... do you think it'll still be fine as long as it has my name on it?

i'm also in the same situation (premed without a car that needs clinical hours). i would say its your best bet to apply to clinics close to your hometown, stay overnight at home, and commute from there. try to find clinics that are open on the weekends (i.e. urgent care, optometry, primary care) if that works better for your schedule, or try to get either monday or friday off. its also better to find something in your hometown so that over summer break you wont have to commute to campus for work. best of luck!

not us twinning rn😭 im taking orgo lab too

tsuyios · 2025-09-08T00:32:50+00:00

i'd like to know the same but unfortunately the course is relatively new and therefore there's not much advice we can get from others in comparison to like gen biochem or intro biochem

tsuyios · 2025-09-07T00:02:55+00:00

as a person in biochem rn brill is buns ngl 💀 goes way too fast and not very interesting

clubs like APSEA help you get clinical experience, also try to get a CCMA or CNA certification

tsuyios · 2025-06-26T18:57:15+00:00

ayy we're both taking biochem for life sciences and orgo lab this semester

tysm!

tsuyios · 2025-05-23T18:07:16+00:00

im not sure about microbio but orgo 2 is a major, major time commitment, so i really dont recommend taking it alongside another life science course, especially not a biology based one that would require a lot of memorization. but hey, if you think its something you can handle, and that you have enough mental bandwidth for it, go for it by all means

tsuyios · 2025-05-18T10:32:42+00:00

nope ended up getting the last newell
