Switching majors as incoming freshman

<p>Chemistry majors need to take math up through multivariable calculus, so you’ll probably take a math class at Bryn Mawr :slight_smile: </p>

<p>All students are required to take the math readiness exam because basic proficiency in math is a graduation requirement. If you have never studied calculus, that’s all you need to do. If you’ve had calculus in high school and are unsure which level of calculus to start out with at Bryn Mawr, the math placement exam can help you decide. </p>

<p>I personally wouldn’t study for the chemistry placement exam if you are aiming for Gen Chem 1. You probably have the prerequisites down cold from your chemistry class in high school. If you are more ambitious and would like to skip ahead 1 or 2 semesters, reviewing your high school chemistry background might help.</p>
