DukeRose4288,
Thank you for the succinct explanation. I was just unclear on whether my credits would get me out of classes or just allow me to go to the next level (but I would still need to take them). I'm planning on doubling in BME/CE and staying for the Masters in Engineering Management program if I can.

So, as I understand it:
If I get 4 or 5 on Gov, Econ, Bio, and Chem, I will take:
-CHEM 23L or 22L
-only 1 biology elective because I will get credit for BIOLOGY 19
-PHY 63
-Only 3 SS-H electives
and of course all of the other requisite classes for my degree.

Is that correct?

-CHEM 23L or 22L Yes, or Chem 151 (orgo)
-only 1 biology elective because I will get credit for BIOLOGY 19 Yes
-PHY 63 Yes, but you can also take Physics 61 OR 62 so you lose your AP credit, but then get get credit for the class you take at Duke AND get to take an easier Physics class (63 is generally known to be crazy-hard compared to 61 and 62)
-Only 3 SS-H electives Yep, but one of the 3 has to be hundred-levels, and you need two from one category.

Thanks, Senator Noodles. I think I'll still take 63. It looks really interesting and I'd like to learn some new material after 2 years of 84 minutes of physics a day.
