Sophomore Fall Courses help please? :)

<p>So I'm currently a premed Freshman (we overpopulate this forum, sorry about that), Environmental Sciences major looking at changing to Molecular Toxicology or Nutritional Sciences (so I'm in CNR, college of natural resources). Quite honestly I'm not used to being able to actually "choose" classes because all throughout high school it was all about taking APs and freshman year was all about prereqs.</p>

<p>Anyway, by fall, I will have completed my R&C, math reqs, and Chem 1A/3A/3B. </p>

<p>Right now I have Physics 8A and Bio 1A plugged into my schedule, and I need four more units to round up to 13. Does anyone have any suggestions for easy classes that still fulfill reqs? I want to keep my schedule light because I'll be pretty busy next semester (and people say Physics 8A is easy but I'm realllly mathdumb).</p>

<p>Thank you in advance for your help! </p>

<p>:)</p>

<p>Edit: Bah I read over the forum and realized that someone with an identical schedule asked the same question. BUT I'm not looking at Econ C3 or Psych 1 since I'm not public health. Those sound hard. :|</p>

<p>I was looking at CNR general education requirements, but couldn’t find anything beyond what you mentioned. What requirements do you need to fulfill?</p>

3

<p>Yeah… CNR really doesn’t have much breadth; it’s mostly upperdiv stuff. But I do need to fulfill my A&C requirement…</p>
