<p>He’s not skipping bio 1 - he has an advisor who strongly recommends that students do not take bio 1 and chem 1 together first semester of freshman year (although that is “normal” sequencing) due to the number of kids that fail/drop/repeat. She kinda scared the **** out of him. He therefore chose to take chem1 in fall then bio 1 in spring, with bio 2 planned next fall. We just discovered that there is no bio 2 lab offered in fall (weird), and that threw a wrench in everything. He wants to major in bio - pre-med track and can’t fall behind in bio.</p>
<p>He got lucky and a seat opened up in bio 1 class and recitation with a prof he would choose over the others (kind of a lesser of 4 evils) but he had to drop calc to get in. I figure he can pretty much take calc anytime and it won’t throw him off schedule. BTW he is now taking bio1 and chem1 first semester, with 2 gen eds.</p>
<p>Just thought about this - I’m sure there are kids who come in with AP bio credit - a 4 on the exam lets you skip bio 1 - so they must come in and start bio 2 in the fall. I wonder what they do for the lab?</p>
