<p>I signed up for bild1 but i am currently waitlisted number 12. How likely would I get the class by the deadline? And if I don't get bild1, I am thinking about taking bild3 this quarter instead because bild3's time fits me better. Would it be harder to skip bild1 and bild3 first? And How difficult is it to get solid A's in lower division biology classes?</p>
<p>You’ll get in, perhaps not when it starts, but that doesn’t matter since midterms aren’t proctored until third week anyway (past the add date).</p>
<p>BILD series is cake, although I’ve only taken BILD 1, but apparently BILD 3 is easier?</p>
<p>Definitely not nearly as time consuming as CHEM 6 series; I just went to class and discussion, and then studied the night before and got an A.</p>
<p>Here’s the distribution for the class:</p>
<p>Class Grade, total of 600 points (+40 EC); class average = 411 (high 595!)
A 502 - 571 (640) (21.3% of class)
B 432 - 501 (32.7% of class)
C 362 - 431 (20.0% of class)
D 292 - 361 (12.7% of class)
F ≤ 291 (13.3% of class)</p>

<p>Taking them out of order won’t hurt you at all, people take them out of order all the time. The material in BILD 1 and 2 aren’t necessarily needed for BILD 3, although it could never hurt.</p>
<p>A’s are not hard to come by if you study the crap out of the lecture notes and pay attention.</p>
