Pre Med

<p>what is the Physics you need to take if you are premed/predental?</p>

<p>physics 207and 208 (regular lecture and labs)
OR physics 101-102 (autotutorial.. no lectures just weekly tests and teach yourself)</p>

<p>this is premed at least.. assuming predent is the same</p>

<p>hows physics 207/208... easy?</p>

<p>no idea.. I'm taking it next year as a junior. from what I heard 207 isn't bad and 208 is more challenging. </p>

<p>This was according to people that took physics in high school, maybe it would have been worse if they hadn't, but I feel like this is what most people think.</p>

<p>You will be spending lots of time studying for physics!</p>

<p>ugh don't want to hear that haha</p>

<p>why will we be?</p>

<p>Physics was okay. I didn't really do many of the homework problems but still did well. It's easier than orgo. Physics is just a plug and chug course. You don't have to memorize the equations. It's just about applying the equations and memorizing some facts.</p>

<p>sexy123- did you know that you could set up a phone appointment with the premed advisor over the phone?
that is probably (no offense to others) a more reliable sorce for information.</p>

<p>whats the difference between
BIOGD 280 LECTURES IN GENETICS
and
BIOGD 281 GENETICS
?</p>

<p>281 is the lecture and lab class (I believe this is required for bio majors). Lab is a lot of work.</p>

<p>280 is lecture only, no lab.</p>

<p>any bio and society majors here?</p>

<p>I have a question. I got a GT to Cornell for fall of 2008. For fall of 2007, I am going to Stony Brook University. In to do the transfer, Cornell told me which classes to take, with one of them being molecular biology. Overall, I am a Bio major. I wanted to know that if i get molecular over with in freshman year, would it be wise to take physics and orgo as a soph. If so, then what other bio classes are necessary to be a bio major and/or prep for the MCAT?</p>

<p>whats ur major at cornell?</p>

<p>I am a Bio major at both Stony and at Cornell. MY GT is to CALS.</p>

<p>Orgo and physics together would be challenging, but doable. I chose to split them up over 2 years, but I know some people who took them at the same time and got through it =).</p>

<p>Orgo and physics together is very doable. Many Cornellians choose to go that route to have their med school prereqs done by the end of their sophomore year.</p>

<p>hpmbs, bio and society majors have to take BIOGD 281?
it says: 280, 281, or 282 on the curriculum requirements</p>

<p>The website states the req's for Bio and Society Major are this:</p>

<ol>
<li>Introductory biology (one year)</li>
<li>College calculus (one course)</li>
<li>Ethics (one course)</li>
<li>Two social sciences/humanities foundation courses</li>
<li>Three biology foundation courses</li>
<li>One biology depth course</li>
<li>Statistics (one course)</li>
<li>Core course</li>
<li>Five theme courses (a coherent group of five courses relevant to the student’s special interest in Biology and Society, including a senior seminar that serves as a capstone course for the major).</li>
</ol>

<p>You should talk to an advisor for more specific guidelines on what courses count as "foundation" or "depth" courses, but it does not look like biogd281 is required. It is required for Biology majors, which is a different major than Bio and Society. </p>

<p>If you meet with an advisor once you're on campus, they can help you make your schedule and plan out your semesters so you can get everything you need done.</p>

<p>Don't take BioGD 281 if you don't have to. It is a class every bit as hard as rumored.</p>
