@Anniebot I think it was a bit less than 10% but yeah it’s pretty easy especially for a science course
@Suffer @vandy93 @anniebot @fdgjfg @Sophie1295 Question! My enrollment was today and I managed to get into all of the classes I wanted (Chem calc FYWS and CS 1101). I have a tough decision however regarding an elective class. I wanted to take an MHS class but it turns out seats are reserved. So as of right now I’m enrolled in religious studies 1010: encountering religious diversity taught by katarina turpinen. I’m considering switching to PSCI 2205: contemporary political theory. Both are interesting topics but of course like any pre med my main concern is picking an easy class. Thoughts/advice?
@Vandydandy I never took any of those classes so I can’t help you that much. However, neither class should be too difficult. Both PoliSci and RS classes will probably involve a fair amount of reading(which you can always skim or in some cases completely skip) and several papers. It will probably take some time but the grading shouldn’t be too tough. You can check out the profs on RateMyProf or VOICE(http://voice.vanderbilt.edu).
You’re at 13 credits right? You might want to just take your schedule as is. If you have AP credits (I think you get up to 18 as elective credits towards the 120 total you need) you can get away with like 14/semester and still graduate in 4 years.
If you want to get all 120 (or more) through courses at Vandy you can always take more when you’re older. You’ll be more used to the course work and you’ll get first choice in classes
I took gen chem, gen psych, calc 1200, and a writing seminar first semester of last year, and they were honestly all pretty tough. I took an intro level gender studies class 2nd semester and it was super easy. Depression is a really easy neuro elective that I took 2nd semester.
The general wisdom around campus is that it’s easy to get an A- in neuroscience but hard to get an A. That’s pretty much true. Almost everyone I know (including me) got an A-
