Racnna, thank you very much for that information. So, what happened, you reregistered for the class(chem honors) after dropping it?



No i took chem 36H(orgo lab). I dropped chem 39H(orgo lecture)



Yeah, I realized that honors courses actually tend to be a lot more laid back and interactive, so I registered for phys 211h. As soon as I did that, someone from schreyer sent me a long email saying that this was an unwise move on my part as I “probably wasn’t ready for it.” I sent him a fairly extensive reply, but I just couldn’t convince the guy. What can I say–I will be taking the class anyhow and try to get an A at all costs. It is much smaller and hopefully I will get to know the professor well and be motivated by equally diligent peers.



yeah take it



It is great thing to find you here, I am always looking for people here on cc who go to PSU and have the same ambitions as I. How long have you been at PSU for? Do you think you will get some good recommendations for those Ivys?



I actually started out at a branch campus. I’ve been at UP for one semester. As for recs, i’ll get one of my math professors to write me one, and one chem E professor.



Best of luck and keep me updated. I think you have a fair chance at those schools, just make sure you have a few safeties. What is your major–have you thought of NYU?



I don’t think they offer chem E but yeah i have to find some safeties. WHat are your safeties?
