<p>to arbiter213 - I don’t think I will take general chem freshman year. I will take orgo instead. If I take gen chem, I will take the nonaccelerated track. </p>

I do want to take what I care about, but I also want to do well since I need a high GPA (pre med). Which is why I’m navigating CTECs, since I find out through high school experience that there are good teachers and bad ones, and I’d rather stick with the good ones who will make me like courses I already like even more. I had to deal a lot with cut courses and bad scheduling in high school, which unfortunately had a negative influence on my mentality, which is why I’m planning right now to alleviate my college experience with that. I’m also paying some amount for college, so I want the best experience (with professors and courses). </p>
<p>So I’d rather take what I want to take with good teachers to create the best experience (which is what most people aim for). </p>
<p>I might double major in chemistry and biology, since I think I’ll get the most out of that, although I’m afraid that taking too many courses will be too much of a burden on me. I might major in bio and minor in chem, if that’s the case.</p>
