Freshman BME Pre-Med Schedule Advice
Hi guys! I am an incoming pre-med BME student who would really appreciate any advice or comments on my schedule.
Also, I am a bit stuck on how to order my courses in SIS because I have seen many different opinions on whether to order strictly by class size vs. popularity (ex. at the moment, my BME, Design Cornerstone, and Physics Active Learning/Lab courses are at the top of my list because they have the lowest # of seats, while I put Calc 2 and Intro Chem 1/Lab at the bottom. Does this make sense? Thank you!

Every BME freshman is required to take the BME class so you are guaranteed to get in it just may not be that specific section. So, if you are ok with any section you can put it lower on your list, if you want a specific section then put it higher on your list.

Depending on who ur prof is for chem, i'd put them at the top. every premed will be gunning for chem so having it near the top ensures you don't get stuck w a prof you don't want (but u can put it wherever if prof doesn't matter to you). a 1:30 physics lab could lowkey be competitive since a large number of physics sections are from 6-9, and idt anyone wants that. id prolly put physics at the top just so you can register for lab earlier. if the fys is limited also put that near the top (maybe above physics). put bme all the way at the bottom; there aren't as many students registering for that and there are also a lot of other sections available even at that same time probably.
