...heaven's sake, get a good grounding in mathematics before ever going on even to Nat Sci 3. The appropriate math to take ranges from Math Ar to Math 21. The math requirement is the most flexible of all the premed requirements as far as the medical schools are concerned. The med schools are often willing to accept pre-calculus, statistics, computer sciences, etc. to fulfil the requirement. Clearly, if you are a student with excellent math preparation, say an AP score of 4 or 5, you need have little concern except that you must still take Math...
...reasonable, recommended beginning program for freshmen with little AP exposure in math or chemistry is Nat Sci 3 and Math 1 or Math Ar More than two premedical courses as a freshmen is unwise unless you are not only confident about your academic prowess in the sciences but also have demonstrated facility in sciences Such demonstrated facility would include previous excellent work in secondary school in chemistry physics mathematics. APs in chemistry--physics math or biology, or, superhigh math SAI scores overs with considerable exposure the sciences in secondary school...
...snowball into a disastrous sophomore slump. you should avoid a rough science schedule with inadequate math background as a freshman. If you fear a rough time with chemistry or biology as a freshman, take only Math Ar and Math la or Math 1a and lb and plan to take Nat Sci 3 as a sophomore. And if you find chemistry hard you may well need to strengthen your math background and should consider Math Ar. The worst of all possible worlds is when a freshman loses all his self-confidence. Freshman year is a rough time of adjustment, self-doubt...
...suggestion that performance in Nat Sci 3 or Chem 6 is a perfect indicator of projected performance in Chem 20 is dubious. Dolphin has iterated the very cumulative nature of the material within the Chem 20 curriculum...
Many have also noted the irrelevance of most of both Nat Sci 3 and Chem 6 to the Chem 20 curriculum...
