for Ivysaur, it looks like most of your questions have been thoroughly addressed, but if you come up with anything else just post here and I’ll likely see it. I have to admit that I’m not an expert on the math offerings at Cornell since I haven’t taken many courses from that department.

for krmh11, why would you be taking more math at Cornell? it looks like all you need to do for Plant Science is take a statistics course, and the “course progression” is not suggesting it for freshmen. especially since you’re doing OK but not fantastic in BC, I would say that unless you have a great passion for math, I think you’re better off exploring all the other subjects Cornell has to offer that are nothing like what was available to you in high school. if you really want to do some more math, it probably would not hurt to wait till the spring semester, when you have a better feel for the college/major requirements, the workload, college life, etc.
