Now that it's official that I will be at UNC next year, I have some questions.

How/when should I get in touch with prehealth advising to make sure I'm on track with everything for premed?
How hard is the premed chemistry sequence at UNC (101, 102, 241, 261, 262+labs)?

I'm not too terribly worried about calculus, biology, or physics...but chemistry is what I'm really worried about...what should I prepare for/how should I prepare for it?

Speaking of calculus, biology, and physics...I should place out of Math 231 and 232, and Physics 104, from my junior year AP scores...and I am fairly sure that I should place out of biology 101 (I will be taking the AP exam in May and made a 4 on a practice exam I did in December to see where I was). Should I take the advanced courses I place into (which would be Math 233, physics 105...and biology 252, assuming I do well enough on the AP exam) or should I retake some of these intro courses, for those of you that know the course difficulty at UNC better than I do?
