| You can declare your major your first semester with an academic adviser that should (but might not) thoroughly explain what you need to do to complete whatever major you decide to choose for your premed pathway. Carolina does not have a "Premed" major. I would venture to say that most people decide to major in biology or chemistry with the intention of pursuing med school while others take more nontraditional paths. The premed chemistry sequence at Carolina is very difficult for most people, especially when it comes time for organic chem. As far as retaking entry level courses at Carolina, you really should do what you feel comfortable with. If you dont feel like your biology is up to par, then retake it. If you feel like you have a solid understanding of it and had a good lab experience in high school then don't retake it and try to get into 201 or 202 if you have chem credit. You can try to get into bio 252 but I can almost promise you it won't happen because so many people need it. EXSS majors and bio majors have to have it and as a freshman it is just impossible, but no harm in trying i guess. You don't need to take MATH 233 for a biology major so if you are a bio major dont do it. you need physics 105 so i suppose you could try and take it for a bs bio major. But for your first semester really look at all your gen ed requirements and get those out of the way, you do not need to, and almost certainly should not jump in the deep in your first semester. |
