<p>No problem! I’m happy to help.</p>
<p>1) I know it’s an EOP program, but I don’t really know anything about it. Sorry. </p>
<p>2) I took 16 credits (four classes of four credits each) both semester, which is normal. 16 credits is considered a full courseload. Freshman can take up to 18, but can’t go over that. You must take 12 credits to be considered full time, but taking only 12 credits is not a bad thing. Some students do that during their first semesters to assimilate into college life. I took all freshman intro classes my first semester, and began moving into 200 and 300 level courses by my second semester. I also came in with a full 16 credits from AP testing, so I was technically a sophomore by the end of my first semester. Sophomore year, I picked it up. I overloaded with 21 credits last semester, and I’m going to 20 this semester. But that’s for later on in your career.</p>
<p>3) It’s… well, it’s different. It’s certainly not as diverse as some schools, but we do have our international students and our out-of-staters and such. It’s just that the majority of students are from Long Island/NYC/New Jersey and are either Jewish or Asian. Seeing a student from Montana or California is like seeing a deer on the quad… it happens, but not a lot. We do get a TON of exchange students from Turkey, for whatever reason, and lately I’ve been noticing a lot of international students from England and France. </p>
<p>4) It’s excellent for the pre-med track. And because of the value you get on your undergrad education here, a ton of people come into the school with the intent to go pre-med. It’s just a matter of toughing it out. Unfortunately, most of those who want to go pre-med end up abandoning those ambitions by the end of their freshman year. It’s difficult, but it’s an excellent program and an even better value. If you have what it takes to get through it, you’re in very good shape.</p>
