<p>curious8582008, 2 is a good double because you can choose to do 2A, which has fewer requirements. And I know one of my friends graduated in 1 in three years, so 1 must be relatively flexible as well. I don’t have a ballpark for 4, because I didn’t know as many people in the department.</p>
<p>eating food, I think I only knew the numbers for bio and BCS when I came to MIT – I remember getting mixed up at orientation between 18 and 8. It does get confusing to translate back sometimes – I remember writing a blog entry once and wanting to link to a chemistry website, and I was looking at the list of departments on the main MIT page (which is alphabetical) and trying to find “chemistry” in the F’s because I was looking for “five”.</p>
