<p>Well Ithink the point of the skit was that he not only got the chem class he wanted but that he was also opened up to an interest in drama. I have also copied the first year recommendations for pre-med students and though chemsitry is recommended there are other options. The total recommended chemistry sequence is 2 1/2 years so starting chem a little later, as long as some other requirement was being met would still work fine. This sort of thing is what they were trying to open the parents to. For instance I recommended my daughter take calc her first semester. She just had calc in hs so it is still fresh and there are very few fields where a semester of college calc won’t fulfill her math requirements. She may get it, she may not. If she doesn’t she can take it next semester or next year. Will it be harder, probably. Granted she is not planning to major in math or physics and the class isn’t tied to a sequence but there are very few sequences in a liberal arts college that are 8 semesters long.</p>
