Does your grade in AP Bio predict how you'll do as a Bio major?

No, it just says that you should never be any kind of analyst since that is wildly crazy to base how well you’ll do in a biology major from one biology course you took in high school for AP credit.

A friend of mine is a physics major who started from basic arithmetic in community college and is at UCLA now. I was not good at math in high school it would seem from my HS transcript, but I’m 16 units away from graduating with a math degree. I did not work like a dog to get here either. I think I’d make sure your chemistry skills are up to par because I’m assuming the rest is just memorization. I took an Honors Biology class in my first couple years of college. It was easy, so I think you might be overthinking how hard a biology class will be in college. A very close friend of mine concurrs and he was an absolutely terrible student in high school but has a high GPA as a Mechanical Engineering major. He took AP classes too, so really…just wait until you get into college. I don’t think you need to declare a major for the first two years.
