<p>OMG this thread is soo funny</p>
<p>thanks for the creative responses so far...lol. so, now to shift it back, how does Penn's overall campus size affect its normal class sizes? How many students are typically in the Pre-Med courses, ranging from intro bio and chemistry, to upper level science classes? Also, does more people equal more intense competition in individual science classes?</p>
<p>Intro chem and bio is going to be 100-200 students in a lecture. I didn't feel any negative affects from the size of the class. You have recitations in chem where it's 1 hour with a TA and 15 students to go over homework and quesitons. You also have office hours and the chem professors have a ton of them. A good professor can communicate the material well in a 500 person lecture (you will never have one this big at Penn) and you will understand everything. A poor professor couldn't teach you the stuff one on one. For an intro science or math class I really don't see the need for small, high school size classes. You have small classes where you need them like in writing seminars, language classes, and upper level seminars.</p>
<p>i am bumping this question…</p>
<p>I’m still interested in how leadership works at Penn. I absolutely love being a leader in clubs and I am aware it would be harder to get a position as a freshman. Do the majority of people eventually get at least one leadership position?</p>
<p>it all depends on what you define as leadership</p>
<p>certainly not enough class board or undergraduate assembly spots… but i’d say the ability to demonstrate leadership is certainly available in tons of different ways</p>
<p>you may not have a “title” but if you seek out responsibility you can find plenty of things to do </p>
<p>and then if you find a club or group that you really like and stay consistently involved, you should be able to get some kind of executive position eventually</p>
