First of all, congrats to everyone who got accepted into ds, hopefully I'll be there shortly.


I'm registering for my last semester of cc before transferring out. I just got done taking anatomy 1 + lab and had my schedule for spring, however, I was just informed that my professor will be teaching it again.

My question, should I remove calc and intro to anthropology and put it off until the summer?

Or should I keep my schedule the way it is?

Other two classes

General Chem 2 + lab
General physics 2 + lab
These are all pre reqs for the uni I'm transferring to (Drexel)
For a total of 15 cr.

I'm having a hard time because I feel like it would be good to take a full year of a class with the same teacher and thus leading to a stronger lor(correct me if I'm wrong)

I appreciate any help or insight , thanks
 
So besides Gen chem 2 and physic 2, what other class you are trying to add ?

Intro to athro, and calc. 3 and 4 cr respectively, Is what I have currently for spring
 
my question was if you decide to drop anthro and calc, which class are you trying to add instead of those two, the class that will be taught by the same professor as anatomy 1

Ah, if i drop those two I would be having

anatomy 2 lecture
anatomy 2 lab
gen chem 2 lecture
gen chem 2 lab
physics 2 lecture
physics 2 lab

although the lecture and lab classes are taught by two different teachers they are the same two that taught anatomy 1 lecture and lab.
 
Don't you think you would be perceived as a more competitive applicant if you were to take the majority of your science prerequisites at a university as many of the applicant pool do?

On a more relevant note, I think your chosen courses are fine. I took Micro., Chem. II, and Calc. II, and Communications for a total of 15 credits the Spring of my freshman year and I did fine.
 
whichever you think you are going to get higher grade.

CC LOR are not a problem however, I saw some posts that they prefer UNI LOR. But of course if your anatomy professor gets to know you better and you think you have good chance of getting A then take anat2. I dont know which calc you are going to take but if its calc2(the last one) for spring then i would take calc2. Because if you transfer the courses that are half-sequence i.e. you transfer with calc 1 only, I don't know about drexel but some schools require you to start over the calc series. It might be an easier A ,but its wast of your time and tuition. If you are going to complete calc series by taking calc in this spring, just take calc.
Hope that makes sense.

I was thinking the same thing, but in order to transfer, these science courses are required. Sorry for the hard to view font, but those are basically the courses I have to take.
