<p>I have to say your AP score and how well you do in Chem 4A are quite irrelevant. Plenty of people ace the AP test/SAT II and fail to do well while there’s the opposite. As long as have some basic chemistry knowledge, that’s all you need to start Chem 4A.</p>
<p>Lower division math professors don’t really matter. Although when I audited Voiculescu’s lecture a couple of times last fall, I had absolutely no idea what he was mumbling in his thick Eastern European accent and he was only talking to the first row of the class… it would entice anyone to skip his lectures and just learn from the textbook and your GSI. Just be glad that your grades don’t really have to do with the professor’s lectures especially in lower-division math classes.</p>
