<p>The why take chem 151? I imagine the BME/ECE dual major is already a chock full of hard classes, why add to that?</p>
<p>It honestly looks interesting and I'll place out of the lower level. I'd prefer the harder class to relearning material, especially when I just took AP Chem this past year.</p>
<p>Would it be wiser to take physics 63 instead?</p>
<p>If you already have AP Chem credit, then you should be done with chemistry...no need to take another. Unless you have a burning desire to explore the wonderful world of organic chemistry with a bunch of cutthroat premeds...j/k :) Premeds are awesome.</p>
<p>Phys 63...idk I've never taken it. Heard that there were some topics in it that premeds might be interested in. I retook 61 cause it would be easier and that was my easy A for second semester.</p>
<p>I don't think so, SBR.</p>
<p>From the BME undergrad handbook:
[quote]
Two Chemistry Courses – Most students take Chemistry 21L and 22L. AP credit (Chemistry
19) is accepted in place of Chemistry 21L. To fulfill the other chemistry requirement, students
can take either Chemistry 22L, Chemistry 23L (an accelerated course that covers the major
topics in Chemistry 21L and 22L in one semester), or Chemistry 151L.

<p>I don't think taking chem 151 is wise if you're not pre-med or a chem major because you will be taking with people who are, and people who are making that class their #1 priority. As an engineer, your hands will be pretty full. I think you should take 22 or 23 (although I am biased against 23). Are you considering any minors or certificates?</p>
<p>No, I'm not. I suppose I'll try one of those others. Thanks for the advice.</p>
<p>My roommate took Chem 22 first semester and I remember him saying that it was really easy- however, since you're BME.. Chem 23 may be more useful.</p>
<p>d4r7h3v1l: I guess you will need to take a chemistry after all. If you are choosing between chem 22 and 23, then 22 might be a bit easier in terms of fewer hardcore orgo dropouts than 23. I took chem 23 my freshmen year and it didn't feel any easier than 151.</p>
<p>do the cultural anthropology 49S seminars fill up too fast? How are they?</p>
