<p>Hi everyone,
How’s everyone doing?</p>
<p>I’m a comm. college student in Maryland, where I study pre-med.
For fall of this year, I’m planning on transferring to University of Maryland, where I want to study Biology.
To date, I have a 3.95 GPA (43 transferrable credits). To tell you the truth, I’m kinda concerned about losing this GPA when I enter U/Maryland, since my GPA will start from scratch, and it’s going to be harder to get a similar GPA I used to have in comm. college. Btw, I study about 2-3 hrs p/day also and more on weekends and I’ll honestly be happy with >3.5 GPA at university.
Friends have told me that the curriculum is not that bad, but I am hesitant to believe this. I’ve relaxed a great deal though through the help of friends, and I socialize a fair bit. Regardless, I’m still concerned.</p>
<p>I would appreciate it if anyone could offer some advice, preferabbly as to how University of Maryland is, (in relation to Biology course difficulty) and how much one should put towards studying p/day. Are university level courses ALOT harder than comm. college courses?</p>
<p>Thank you all in advance,
ph</p>
