I am a first year biochem/chem major at Marshall. The GE’s at Muir are easier, I believe you only have to take two quarters of writing as opposed to three quarters at Marshall. Other than the writing courses, Marshall and Muir have no other major discrepancies in terms of G.E.'s (with the exception of fine arts i.e. Music.) As diablo said, the chem6 series is definitely not easy. It’s very competitive because about 99% who take the 6series are pre-med or engineer students. With that said, if you want an A, you have to devote A LOT of time (I think i spent about 11 hours outside of class time each week) if you want that A. If you took AP chem, it will definitely help you out in chem 6A, but when you reach B and C you’ll be covering material that wasn’t covered in highschool chem. Good luck!
