Hi, I will be a freshman come aug (and really excited!) and looking for someone to give some class advice. I plan on beginning a pre-med track, majoring in chem. According to the advising website, it recommends I start with chem 111 and math 111–and I am nervous that it may be too much. I took AP in 11th grade and did pretty well in the class with a very hard teacher; I shamefully only got a 3 on the exam, but I kind of blame that it was the first year with the new exam, no teachers knew how to prepare us, and the college board screwed it up (as evident that this year, students got more time). I took calc this year as a senior, but not AP. My class followed the general AB curriculum, but I do not think our application problems were nearly as difficult. Im also nervous because I keep hearing about Wake’s grade deflation…what are your thoughts on this?
Also, any other advice you have for incoming freshman? Anything you wish you had known as a freshman that you know now?
Thanks!
