Look at my post above and it'll answer everything you've said. Because your post is FULL of assumptions. Just because I don't like science classes means I won't know anything about the human body and basic sciences? LOL
So this IS serious.
I have read everything, which is why I said what I said.
(PS read the time stamps, I was writing my response when you posted that long ass explanation)
What everyone is trying to get at is that undergrad science courses are more like nap time compared to DS courses.
I think it's great you got decent grades in general science courses, it's the higher science courses that really counts and those are suppose to be the cake walks.
But only YOU can gauge how well you think you can do in these classes.
We dont know you, we are only going by whatever information you give us. Why is it hard to believe that we assume?
Is it far fetched to think that you hate science classes because did you poorly in them? No, most of the classes I dislike (including all of my friends) are usually the classes I did poorly in.
That being said, I do agree that it's ridiculous that some schools have an obscene amount of volunteer hour requirements. But honestly, in the grand scheme of things, the volunteer hours doesn't really weight alot in many schools. And I also think that most undergrad classes are virtually useless. But some of them (higher level science courses) are useful in gauging how well you might do academically in DS. Remember, this is as much as an investment for the schools as it is for you.
I hope this clears things up and good luck in your endeavors.
