<p>Hi, I think I want these classes for the fall semester</p>
<p>Engr 101
Calculus II
Chemistry 125 + lab
Psych 111</p>
<p>I'm an engineer on the pre med track and this comes out to 17 credit hours. My advisor kept warning me I was in over my head. Should I drop psych or should I be able to handle all 4 with a good GPA?</p>
<p>I’ve been told Psych 111 is very easy. You shouldn’t have a problem getting an A in that class. You realize med school admissions with an engineering degree is much more difficult, correct? It’s harder to maintain a high GPA in engineering than LSA.</p>
<p>The difficulty of Eng 101 will depend on how much programming experience you have</p>
<p>I didn’t take Calc 2 here, but I’ve only heard bad things</p>
<p>Did you mean Chem 130 + Lab (126/125)?
Chem 130 will depend on any previous chem experience
The lab will depend on your group and your GSI</p>
<p>No idea about Psych 111, but I can’t imagine it is that bad</p>
<p>Yes, I meant 130. I understand that calc ii is going to be my biggest challenge. But I’ve heard IOE is not too difficult to do well in. Would it be best if I take a lighter load this year and see if engineering is what I want for my career, and if not, finish up pre med with an lsa major in 4.5/5 years?</p>
<p>IOE is said to be one of the easiest engineering majors at Mich, but I’m not sure how much exposure to biology and whatnot you’ll have in IOE. Your MCAT score could struggle based on how much bio/chem you take. If you aren’t really set on engineering, I think you’d be better of just doing LSA for bio or chem or something. </p>
<p>That said, I’m not in pre-med or engineering, so take it with a grain of salt.</p>
<p>if you can’t manage to get A’s in all those courses, then you probably aren’t cut out for IOE + premed…</p>
<p>If you are going for pre-med don’t do IOE unless you have a passion for it. They’re totally different. Just do an LSA major because it’s easier and probably more interesting. Engineering is more of a professional degree</p>
<p>You should be fine.</p>
<p>IOE+premed is odd and unrelated though</p>
<p>You don’t think I’d have a hard time doing both, like the others said? Regardless, I think I’m going to go for it.</p>
<p>I had Calculus 2 and Engr 101 in my first semester at Michigan.</p>
<p>I had no programming experience and did better in Calculus 2.</p>
<p>Calculus 2 is a strange class. It’s structured like a high school class (at least it felt that way to me). The material is NOT that difficult. The difficulty comes from the ambiguity of the class. The toughest part for most exam questions is just figuring out what you need to do. The exams even have the following on the instructions page:</p>
<ol>
<li> Please read the instructions for each individual problem carefully. One of the skills being tested on this exam is your ability to interpret mathematical questions, so instructors will not answer questions about exam problems during the exam.</li>
</ol>
<p>Also, Team Homework sucks. </p>
<p>Engr 101: Homework was in the form of projects. The projects were NOT that bad if you went to office hours. The exams were hard though. Also, they were unforgiving on exams for mistakes. Seriously, they would hammer you for mistakes.</p>
<p>777Blue77 is right about calc 2 being like a high school class. Some sections are thought by GSIs only and have under 30 students</p>
