<p>If you want to be premed I would not encourage you to come here unless you are sure what you are getting into. Caltech is one of the hardest schools in the country, if not the hardest school, to get a high GPA at. From what I understand, that’s OK for getting into grad school as the school’s relative grade deflation is taken into account–but not for med school. It would be very hard for you to maintain a med-school worthy GPA.</p>
<p>I’ll wait for a Chem major to post a typical chemistry schedule but according to the Caltech catalog a typical Chem-major load would look like this</p>
<p>Freshman year:
Ma 1 abc
Ph 1 abc
Ch 1 ab
Bi 8, Bi 9 OR Bi1 (not sure which chem majors usually take, Bi8/9 is the bio major route)
One HSS class per term</p>
<p>Sophomore year:
Ch 41 abc
Ma 2ab
Ph 2ab
Ch 4 ab
Ch 14</p>
<p>You can find the catalog here.</p>
