<p>about the sciences–</p>
<p>Chicago appears to have more requirements in the sciences. While the number of courses may be greater, Chicago does have extremely good rocks-for-jocks courses that fulfill bio and physical sciences requirements. They’re easy and lots and lots of fun-- Chemistry and the Atmosphere? Ice Age Earth? Intro to Astrophysics?</p>
<p>You don’t have to take math if you score a 5 on the BC. A 5 on the AB means one quarter of calc, and the math levels are broken up. There’s one super-theoretical calc class, then a track that most are in which is some proofs and such but nothing too over-the-top, and then there’s a calc track without proofs and with lots of review time.</p>
<p>You don’t even have to take calc-- a quarter of comp sci or stat or baby math will do, and you just take another science course to make up for the other math.</p>
<p>So while there are many options for non science/math people in fulfilling the core, the same isn’t the case for people who aren’t reading/writing. Every hum, sosc, and civ are of similar difficulty.</p>
