What classes should I start first quarter with?

<p>I'm going to be a social science major in Revelle.
Should I start with GE's? (I only have to take the Hum series and sciences, others covered by AP) A few classes for my major? I'm also doing Pre-med, so should I start with a science class too?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>CHEM 6A
MATH 20A
Lower-div social science major prerequisite
whatever</p>

<p>Adjust for AP credits as necessary.</p>

<p>Should I start on the Revelle Hum series as soon as possible?</p>

<p>Why should I take Chem before Bio or Physics? Or does it matter?</p>

<p>I would advise just getting HUM over with asap. Or, if it's possible, find a community college class for the summer that will give you credit for HUM. </p>

<p>Chem 6A is a prereq for BILD 1 (the first of the bio series). So, if you don't have whatever AP credits, then you pretty much have to take chem before bio. </p>

<p>Physics, the 1 series for pre-med/non-scary science majors, I've heard to be time-consuming, but not hard. I'm currently taking the 2 series, and every night after staring blankly into my physics book, I want to jab my eyes out... But really, it doesn't matter when/in what order you take physics/bio/chem. Although most freshmen don't put off the chem.</p>

<p>If you think about it: med schools require a buttload of chemistry. 1 year gen chem, 1 year ochem, and lab(s); whereas physics and bio are only 1 year each. I think this is why most people just go ahead with the chem series- it's just verrry long! Otherwise, it's not that big a deal!</p>

<p>Also, for the math, if your major does not require it, med schools only require the 10 series, not the 20 series. If you're not a math person, this series will save you a lot of calculus troubles...</p>

<p>Hope that helps!</p>

<p>Thanks so much, that helps a lot.</p>

<p>I'm looking at the pre-med requirements, and I just wanted to verify that pre-med students have to take the Chem and Biology that's intended for science majors right (even though I'm a social science major)? Actually, what biology classes should I take?</p>

<p>Does anybody know what classes I should complete in time for the MCAT?</p>
