<p>NBB is not that hard, it’s probably only as difficult (or less) as Anthro or psyche for that matter (NBB overlaps w/those a lot and the hardest class you’ll have to experience is NBB 301 and that really isn’t but so tough). To choose major based on difficulty is crap. Choose based upon what you wanna learn. Anthro. makes a solid well-rounded major for a pre-med. Enhances writing and scientific/critical thinking skills simultaneously.</p>
<p>Anyway, chem and bio stands alone. Emory also doesn’t really publicly release grade distributions. My hunch is that the Anthro./human bio sits a little lower than NBB (my friend saw a ranking where NBB was about number 10, and chem, bio, and physics were at the top). NBB has too many standard lecture classes to be that hard. Anthro. classes (and not just seminars) may incur additional workload outside of class to gain a deep understanding of material. NBB classes (especially mid-levels) generally only have exams. Most Emory students can easily master exams, especially when they are multiple choice. Adding writing to a science like course lessens the ease for most as many can easily get an A on an exam, but not an essay.</p>
