<p>Hi,
Im planning to major is CS and one of the pre reqs to apply for the department is 5 credits of either BIOL 180, CHEM 142, or PHYS 121.
which one would be the best/easiest for 1st quarter of freshman year?
thanks alot

<p>I thought PHYS 121 was easier then CHEM 142, but I didn’t take BIOL 180.</p>
<p>You can’t take Biol 180 your first quarter … See this thread for more info –<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-washington/1176758-chances-getting-into-biol-180-1st-qtr-freshman.html”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-washington/1176758-chances-getting-into-biol-180-1st-qtr-freshman.html</a></p>
<p>Also, Math 124 is the prereq for Physics 121 – do you already have that?</p>
<p>Chem 142 may be your best bet, but it’s not exactly ‘easy’. </p>
<p>I would say that Biol 180 is easier than Chem 142, but Chem 142 is easier to get a better grade in versus Biol 180.</p>
<p>Chem is the easiest, but you need phys anyways</p>
<p>definitely chem 142</p>
<p>lol @ people saying chem 142 is hard… its basically hs chem + a few things… it IS a weeder class, but i wouldnt say its hard… just gotta put some effort in
had the “hard” professor for this class too, and i didnt think it was bad.</p>
<p>I didn’t say it was hard, just I found Physics easier.</p>
<p>lol, yeah i know. theres just some classes at uw that are common freshman classes, ie: chem 142, and you hear terrible things haha. i knew a girl who was freaking out and hadnt even taken the class yet. kinda scares you, haha. but its not too bad</p>
<p>The Pre-Req for Computer Science you need the entire Chem series versus just 1 Physics 121 class. I would say that Physics 121 would be easeir</p>
