<p>I hope I am not intruding into the thread too badly, but I’m a current CALS bio major so I think I can probably say more about socceroc93’s question.</p>
<p>first of all, it really depends on what you’re bringing in in terms of AP credit, not in bio but in other courses. you can check on that info here: <a href=“http://admissions.cornell.edu/downloads/adv_placement_intl_credentials.pdf[/url]”>http://admissions.cornell.edu/downloads/adv_placement_intl_credentials.pdf</a>
and here’s the CALS graduation requirements:

<p>but besides just overloading you with links, I am curious about why you would want to take only 3 classes per semester. I do not think there are many combinations of three classes where you could get over the 12 credit minimum to be a full-time student. I have taken 4 classes a semester for most of the past semesters, and it has certainly worked out for me in terms of bio major prerequisites. I started out with lots of AP credit, though, so I did not have to take a lot of general CALS requirements.</p>
