<p>fhimas, every MIT undergrad, regardless of the major they will eventually choose, has to take the GIRs (General Institute Requirements), which include two semesters of calculus-based physics, and a semester each of biology and chemistry (in addition to two semesters of calculus), and include a requirement for a lab course. (Mollie is very good at explaining the GIRs, as is probably every current student.) If you're "not a big fan of science", MIT might not be the right school for you. It's worth thinking carefully about, anyway.</p>
