<p>Yes this is true, I meant some calculus course. 16AB will suffice, but she is in CoC – not sure if that changes things. I’d take 1B over 16B though, it’s not impossible after all. If it’s with a really bad professor I’d avoid it, but the best way in my eyes is to take a good class with a reasonable professor. That way you actually learn something, and at the same time don’t kill your chances at medical school.</p>
<p>Yea, Math 1A, 1B, 53, 54 are REQUIRED. no avoiding them, except for AP credit for the first two.</p>

<p>Good call, that’ll mean the classes actually mean something.</p>
<p>hey blueducky. im in CoC as well and im a chem major changing to chem bio major and im trying to turn this in too</p>
<p>my schedule looks almost exactly like yours so far-</p>
<ol>
<li>Chem 4A</li>
<li>Chem C96</li>
<li>Physics 7A</li>
<li>English R1B</li>
<li>(This one is the problem. I was either going to get my AC requirement over with since its P/NP anyway, or like you said i could get ahead and do Math 53.)</li>
</ol>
<p>I also have couple ap credits to use towards breadth, but does anyone know if theres a requirement to how many breadth courses i must take in each of the 2 breath groups?</p>
<p>On the note of taking R5A classes instead of R1A, how are those classes easier?</p>
<p>cause they’re not in the english dept.</p>
<p>^^ Just less tough grading on the essays, I think. Also, R5’s are more interesting-sounding in my opinion.</p>
<p>On a more random note, while you’re picking class sections and such you might want to take a look at what your final week looks like. Having two finals in one day is not very fun for a fact, especially one from 8 to 11 AM and another from 5 to 8 AM :(. The only thing worse is having an 8 to 11 AM and 12:30 to 3:30 PM.</p>
<p>Also, Chem Bio majors do have the option of taking the Physics 8 series it says so on page 10/48 on your pdf (or page 8 if you have a hard copy), blueducky.</p>
<p>Yea, but p.29 of 48 says that 7 series are recommended, even if 8 series are allowed. Why would somebody choose 8 over 7?</p>
<p>The 8 series is a less challenging version of 7, and premeds frequently will take it to get higher grades.</p>
<p>The 7 series will probably be a little more fun at least, though. You’ll be in contact with more engineers, who may actually care about the material more, than the typical premeds do.</p>
