<p>hi all...i'm a physics major (+pre med designation) at the moment and i'm worried about grades. it seems like it will be a lot of work to get good grades (3.8+) in physics. physics is very demanding at my school and in general, so i'm looking to change my major to something like economics. i like physics and science in general and i'm proficient in math as well, and if it doesn't matter what i major in, which subject matter will probably be easier grade-wise? thanks!</p>
<p>Your major doesn't matter after grades are accounted for.</p>
<p>if i had a nickel everytime you said that...haha</p>
<p>If I had a nickel for every time people asked it...</p>
<p>wait, so you're saying that if i get good grades, i'll look better to med schools than another person with lower grades and a "harder" major!?</p>
<p>lol, ok i get it. i was just joking with the previous statement. it's just a little unnerving to constantly worry about grades, major, and med school admissions.</p>
<p>another question...my school gave me 2 semesters of ap credit for english. as a result, i only have to take one semester of the requirements. do you recommend taking another semester of an english class or am i fine? and also, since some schools require biochemistry, what can i take after i finish it? (i'll be taking it sophomore year)</p>
<p>1.) You need two semesters of English taken in college.</p>
<p>2.) You take one year of genchem (possibly AP), one year of orgo, and then possibly one year of biochem. After that you're done with chem.</p>
<p>well i passed out of gen chem...</p>
<p>is it advisable to email schools i'm thinking of applying to and ask them about this?</p>
<p>Sure, if you have issues with the information presented on here AND you have a list of all the schools you're interested in, then by all means knock yourself out.</p>
<p>well if i'm somehow supposed to go back to general chemistry after passing out of it then i won't have to contact schools. that wasn't a shot at you mike, take it easy...</p>
<p>You need two years of chem - one year of orgo and one year of biochem should work fine. One year of genchem and one year of orgo also works, or any combination thereof.</p>
