<p>so i was looking at the princeton website, and i came across this integrated science track. it looks awesome, but i ahve a few questions about it. i have ap credit in chemistry, physics b, and computer science a, so if anyone here has taken it, would i find the material redundant? the courses dominate the freshman year schedule, and i really want to explore my interests. if the material would be redundant for me, i think i would take opt for regular courses. doing the regular courses is also appealing because i'd get a head start in my major and be able to explore even more subjects because of the placement into advanced courses.</p>
<p>I took integrated science, and it was fantastic. It is definitely not redundant with chem or physics B, but may be slightly redundant with computer science. However, it is a fantastic course and if you are interested in science in general, it is a phenomenal experience. Integrated allows you to explore lots of aspects of science. What is your intended major? PHysics B doesn’t actually give you physics credit, so you wouldn’t get ahead there. For chem I guess you could start with orgo, but you wouldn’t be super significantly ahead there anyway. For COS you could still take 217 or 226 your freshman year even with integrated, if you so desired.</p>
<p>ah ok, thanks for the help</p>
<p>I know someone who was in a similar situation except they had taken the actual college classes. He didn’t find it that redundant and he felt it acutally allowed him to master the basics to a higher degree. From what I hear, you get pretty close to the professors and learn a lot. I suggest if you decide to sign up for the course, look over the syllabus and see if you know too much of the material, and if you do just switch classes.</p>
