<p>The political science courses are awesome, especially if you take the special topics courses. That’s what I did. As for chemistry, depends on who you take…especially with orgo. For example, this year, anything outside of Weinschenk will likely be a cakewalk and a waste of time if you are taking it to learn at a decent level or prep for grad. school or something. In other years, Gallivan or/and Soria will teach, and this adds more challenging options. Gen. chem has more of a balance, although whenever you take a more research oriented professor or a noob, it will end up less challenging (and yet you may still end up getting a lower grade than if you take Morkin, Weaver, or Mulford). Also, it seems that only Morkin does something really different with her exams. Mulford is only hard to most because he tests math very heavily (and many Emory students + math= disaster) and the tests are kind of long. Any conceptual questions Mulford puts can be easily approached algorhythmically (based on some book or Aleks problem you did). The tests are mainly about remaining calm, confident, and moving fairly quickly. Weaver mostly tests math as well, but tests are easier because they are shorter (his tests honestly don’t seem to differ much from Mulfords). Morkin is the one that tests concepts and tries to make you apply the knowledge to a new situation, often involving biology or something. She’s better for if you’ve been overexposed to the quantitative/algorhytmic side of chemistry and need to learn how to actually think about the ideas. General biology (and most standard intermediate courses in biology)…good luck finding a challenge over there (too many courses still focus on regurgitation. A middle or high schooler could do that…Human Phys and Developmental are among the worst examples of this). Had to cherrypick my way through to do that.</p>
<p>Bernie…your kinda awesome 
I haven’t gotten in lol. Im applying this year. But if I do get in and go, I’m totally looking at this. Definetly will bookmark this thread :)</p>
<p>Good Luck. Be careful and cross your fingers if you will do regular decision. With the amount of people they take from ED plans (especially last year), things may be getting a bit dicey there. It may get more random than normal. As in, having high stats. won’t predict an admission as easily as it has in the past. Also, with Latting as dean, I don’t know…especially after that whole SAT thing. He may try to quickly raise them to the levels that we were reporting.</p>
<p>Well now I’m worrying that I should do ED2 or ED1 
It’s just the price tag</p>
<p>If you need money, then RD. Again, just be careful and be sure to show interest and stuff.</p>
