<p>Those are all classes freshmen take… all those classes will be at minimum 3/4 freshmen except Calc II which might be more like 1/4. So dropping purely based on what “freshmen usually take” would be to drop Calc II but usually may not necessarily cater to you.</p>
<p>In the end you gotta make your own decision about this because no one here knows the rigors of each individual class you’re in to analyze and give you an educated suggestion. Only you know these factors and only you will suffer the consequences of your choice of schedule - and quite frankly, only you will be able to make the most educated decision, not us. </p>
<p>Considerations:
I will say to keep Bio, Chem, and English regardless of difficulty and make your choice between Sociology & Calc II. If you’re a Bio or Biochem major, it’s required that you take Bio now. On top of that, it’s best to knock Chem out of the way asap so you can proceed onto Orgo sophomore year. Imo, Calc II usually requires less time while Sociology requires more due to the reading (reading takes more time than working out weekly problems (for me)). Since you’re 1st sem, Calc II would be ahead of the game so you could take it easy and take care of Sociology. But also, considering you’re taking Calc II means you just recently learned Calc last year and so taking it consecutively might be best as it’s fresh in your brain and you won’t need to re-memorize everything. Too many factors, you gotta decide what’s best for you.</p>
