She may not want to skip intro psych if that is going to be her major. D chose to take intro psych even though she could have AP'd out. Again, her advisor was very helpful in that regard. She said that she learned a lot that she did not learn in AP.

By the way, my D changed 2 of her 3 classes (trimesters then) after she got to campus, on the advice of & with the assistance of, her wonderful advisor.

Actually, my D transferred after freshman year. She liked Furman a lot, but her interests changed - thanks to her Engaged Living program, in all honesty. Her EL program was Vocations: Finding Your Calling, and she DID - it was at another school, though. She is at Vanderbilt, majoring in Medicine, Health, and Society. However, she had a great year at Furman (aside from her randomly assigned roommate, which was NOT a good match). She misses the beautiful campus, the good friends she made, and the always-accessible profs (not that Vandy's aren't accessible - but they are not quite like Furman's in that regard).
