At Columbia, you have the option to take General Chemistry, Intensive General Chemistry, and Intensive Organic Chemistry for first years. If I only scored a 3 on the AP Chemistry Exam, am I still allowed to take Intensive Organic Chemistry as a freshman? Would I have to take General Chemistry (whether it is intensive or not) during sophomore year? I would need Gen Chem since it is a requirement for medical schools. Since I don’t have a 4 or 5 on the AP Chemistry Exam, I would not be awarded any credits that would replace taking general chemistry.
Thanks.
