councelors labelling me "schizophrenic", to poor
scheduling on the part of the high school so i couldn't
get the classes i needed to get into premed... not to
mention abject boredom & suffering through dealing with
"peers". yup, i *hate* public schools.

Huh? You mean you couldn't get the classes you needed to
get into college? The university I went to had tons of
premed students. Basically, anyone who got in could take
the courses it took to get into med school (doesn't matter
what their major) and call themselves premed. There was a
medical student at our school who graduated as a music
major. Anyone can be premed. It wasn't like they had this
major that said "premed." I know there were some programs
that lead directly to medical school, but that isn't the
usual route.

i was in college in the early 70s. maybe things have changed,
but i could not get into a premed program without Biology II,
which in my high school required a convoluted series of maths
& science courses to get to. because the schedule was screwed,
i could not get into chemistry until my senior year, which was
a prerequisite for Biology II but could not be taken
concurrently, as two sciences were not allowed (nor 2 maths,
social sciences, arts or anything else. it was truly a weird
situation)

Afaik, my school didn't have anything quite that bad, but there was the
situation that my senior year, the way the schedule worked out, iirc,
you could have 3 of 4 of the following: band/choir/orchestra, AP
English, AP Calculus, and AP science (Bio II or Chem II). I opted out
of science, since I didn't need it, and another friend of mine opted
out of AP English but took the test anyhow and got a 5, much to the
chagrin of the naysayers in the English dept!

I'm not sure if we had the 2 science clause in our school - I never
tried to do that one. I think you could take 2 languages at a time.
