<p>Ok, </p>
<p>So I was a Biology major before I quit because I hated it SO take everything I say with more than a grain of salt. </p>
<p>The posters before me are absolutely right about the intro level biology classes. I skipped the intro level ones BUT I took genetics and it is exactly the same. Right on the syllabus it was like:</p>
<p>15-20% A’s
25-30% B’s
25-35% C’s
15-20% D’s
5-10% F’s</p>
<p>And then like you realize 3/5 of the class are pre-meds. Nothing takes the fun out of a class like that. Like at the final everyone was like “so, i like all of you guys BUT i hope you all fail.” And like people were only half kidding. </p>
<p>And I was like, ok, I studied all night so I should be good. NOPE so did half the class. I mean, I have nothing to complain about. I got an A- but it was an awful enough experience that I am never taking a bio class again, ever. All the lectures were power point. It was so so so so boring. And this professor got GOOD ratings on ratemyprofessor.com.</p>
<p>Anyways, I am sure the upper level classes are much better. That is certainly the case in philosophy. I don’t plan to find out though. </p>
<p>So, here is my advice. </p>
<ol>
<li><p>Either take honors gen bio (which is absurdly difficult but very rewarding I hear) or skip it</p></li>
<li><p>Do not in any circumstances take Honors Organic Chemistry. Take the class with George Bandik if at all possible.</p></li>
<li><p>Take Honors Genetics </p></li>
<li><p>Get out of non 1000 level classes ASAP</p></li>
</ol>
<p>My real advice is study philosophy but no one listens to me on that one :)</p>
