Which class should I take?

Graduate School
1

<p>Hi everyone, I’m having a hard time deciding between two classes to take this semester. I’m a bio major (ecology/evolutionary bio track) and plan to go to graduate school. The two classes I’m choosing between are a bio class and Chinese. Taking more bio classes might help me get into a better graduate school, but this bio class I’m not sure how interested I would be in it, and I’m taking 3.5 other classes (1 lab) associated with the major this semester. Chinese I think I would enjoy and would be personally enriching, but it’s a class with a lot of work and I feel like I might have less time in the lab and on my other classes if I do take it. However, Chinese at my school is one of the best language classes offered and I hear great things about it. What should I do?</p>

<p>Take Chinese</p>

3

<p>Ditto. Every semester should have at least one non-major class for sanity’s sake.</p>

4

<p>The problem with taking Chinese though is that the work load can be very intense…which is the only reason I’m reluctant to take it.</p>

5

<p>Then take neither. Why are you asking a question when you’re going to challenge our suggestions?</p>

<p>If one is required, take that one; if both are required, take Chinese; if neither are required, spend the extra time in the lab.</p>
