College Confidential - View Single Post - Pre-Med Neuroscience Schedule

Hi, I am attending Penn this fall, and I had a few questions concerning my freshmen schedule. As of yet, I plan to major in neuroscience and possibly minor in either Arabic or Spanish. I was wondering whether any of you guys had advice on which level Bio class to take (Biol 101 or Biol121). As for my background, I've taken AP Biology and gotten a 5; but that was in junior year, so I don't remember the material as well right now. So, does anyone have any pros and cons of either class (aimed for a pre-med student)?

Also, I am still unsure of whether I should minor in Arabic and Spanish. I have absolutely no background in either, and I would like a class that I can do well in and that looks better for med school admission (if, indeed, one of them offers an advantage)

thanks for any comments/advice!
