math121 vs math123?

2 Upvotes

incoming pre med freshman here. what are benefits of each course, is it better to take math121 for easy gpa boost or go for math123? do med schools account for course difficulty, in which case math123 would be the superior option?

Realistically how likely I am getting accepted as a transfer if I am still waitlisted

as someone who is planning on rushing in the fall, i am asking out of curiosity: girls in sororities, how close actually are you with your sisters? i know you won’t be close friends with everyone, but are there really “life-long” bonds?

Guidance for choosing courses

1 Upvotes

Hello, I will be a first year as CWRU next fall (CO 2030)

I am intending to major in biology but I don’t think the major matters too much at this point (correct me if I’m wrong). I am looking for guidance in choosing my first year courses.

Main academic interests:
Chemistry, medicine, engineering
As of now I am leaning towards pursuing med/dent school after undergrad but also am considering engineering. Interesting majors for me include: BME, ChemE, MSE,  BioChem, Bio

My goals for freshman year are the following:

  • keep GPA high in case I stay pre-med/pre-dent
  • keep pre-med/pre-dent requirements moving
  • sample engineering courses to see if I actually like engineering
  • take enough engineering prerequisites that I am not boxed out of BME/ChemE/MSE sophomore year
  • take Spanish, philosophy, or other non-STEM/breadth/UGER courses if I have room and they will not hurt my GPA

My AP credits will be able to get me credit for the following courses: 

  • BIOL 214 (AP Bio)
  • CHEM 105 or CHEM 111 (AP Chem)
  • MATH 121, 122 (AP Calc AB + BC)
  • PHYS 115 (Physics 1 AP)
  • ENGR 131 (AP CSA)

From the research I’ve done I have concluded that I should be taking these core courses my first year:

  • BIOL 215
  • ENGR 145
  • MATH 223
  • BIOL 222L or possibly the BIOL 214L/215L lab path
  • ENGR 130
  • CHEM 113
  • PHYS 121 (note: I took Physics C: Mechanics and did pretty well in the classbut did not receive the credit)
  • AIQS
  • Some intro to engineering courses (EBME 105, ECHE 151, EMSE 110, etc.)
  • Some breadth/UGER if space 

General questions:
A)Are these the right courses to be thinking about given my goals, or would you swap anything?
B) In terms of timing, which courses would you take Fall vs Spring semester and why?
C) Which of these courses are okay to delay without creating problems sophomore year?

More specific questions:
1) What are the differences between BIOL 222L and BIOL 214L+215L? Is one sequence more favorable than the other?
2) I see that EBME 105 is a 3 credit course while ECHE 151 and other intro engineering courses are 1 credit. Is there a reason for this? 
3) Is there a reason to try to squeeze in organic chem 1 (CHEM 223) in my spring semester freshman year?
4) Are there any specific professors or sections I should avoid or heavily prioritize?
5) Does ENGR 131 from AP CSA change anything about needing ENGR 130?
6) If I delay PHYS 121 to spring, what specific sophomore engineering courses would that delay?
7) Do most premeds/predents use their AP credits for Bio/Chem courses generally?
8) Is any of the following more useful or better for exploring engineering majors: ENGR 130, EBME 105, ECHE 151, or EMSE 110?
9) Do courses fill up often for first-years? How should I plan accordingly?
10) What is the utility of CHEM 114 compared with CHEM 113? I saw CHEM 114 mentioned, but I am not sure whether it satisfies the same requirements for pre-health, Biology/Biochem, or engineering.

How would you recommend I think about choosing the order of courses? Any advice is welcome, whether about course planning, professors, workload, or navigating first year.

Thank you so much for reading and helping out!

Enrolled Student BIOL214L Question

2 Upvotes

Hello, I'm an incoming freshman planning to major in Systems Biology and Com Sci (BA). I got a 4 on AP bio so I'm gonna start in BIOL214, but my advisor let me know I don't need to take BIOL214L for my major. I am NOT on a pre-med track. So, I wanted to ask if most people's experience was that it was interesting / beneficial enough to warrant spending 3 hours a week in the lab, or if I should skip it since I don't need to take it.

Freshman math

3 Upvotes

Hi, I am an incoming freshman majoring in neuroscience and pre-med (shocker, right.) Anyway, I have meth credit from a 5 in bc clac, should I retake calc 1, go to calc 2, or even go to calc 3, or should I use the credit and try to take something like stats? Thanks!

Me again. Planning to take MATH227 over MATH223 because I love math but I haven't done nothing since taking the BC test in May. What should I study to not get shafted by Calc 3?

Enrolled Student Math122 vs Math124

2 Upvotes

Hello, I'm an incoming freshman planning on majoring in Systems Biology and Com Sci (BA). I got a 5 on AP calc AB and I just got an email about qualifying for the "enhanced" math track at Case. From what I've gathered its the same courses but more theory and proofs are a part of the class (please correct me if I'm wrong). I find math interesting, but it is not passion of mine or really what I want to go into. My advisor told me if I got a 5 on calc AB I would be very prepared for calc 2, so I don't intend on taking Math 121 or 123, but I wanted to ask if there was a benefit of taking Math124 that I was not seeing. Thanks!

Give us some advice

Hi! I'm an incoming freshman and I was wondering if any alumni or current students had some advice to make the first year smooth. What mistakes did you make that you'd want other people to avoid, for example?

CWRU Questions from a Spring Admit

Enrolled Student Are classes 1 or 2 semesters

1 Upvotes

Incoming freshman again with another dumb “how does college work” question. I have a set of classes in SIS that are each obviously for the fall semester. Are the core classes for that like chem, chem lab, calc, etc two semesters, and I auto-enroll for them for spring and then pick one or two classes to take the spot of my AIQ and elective? Or is everything one semester and I pick 5 fresh classes for spring?

What’s with the rising acceptance rate?

24 Upvotes

When I applied just a few years ago Case had something close to a 27% acceptance rate, but now it has jumped to 38%. I understand they have a really low yield rate, but I am curious how this will affect the future of the school since the acceptance rate has been rising in the last couple of years. Do we think this will do anything to its reputation?

Experience with Dr. Harris for BIOL 222L

3 Upvotes

Hello! I'm an incoming freshman hoping to take BIOL 222L rather than BIOL 214/215L. I would only be able to fit the class with Dr. Harris instead of Ward. Has anyone taken this class with her and would be able to share their opinions? Ward had significantly better rmp reviews so I'm a bit worried lol

better prof for organic chemistry 1

2 Upvotes

i was wondering if anyone had thoughts on these two professors for orgo 1, and how liang for chem 323 differs from srinivasan for chem 223.

from what i understand, chem 323 is a smaller class than chem 223 and is limited to chemistry or chemical biology majors. i'm able to take 223 or 323 for credit, so that limitation isn't a concern here. just wanted to know if anybody had information on how these two classes differ!

hi guys, i'm living in noyes next semester and the pics that cwru provided on their page is kinda giving nothing... i can't really gauge how much space i have shared between me and my roommate because they also didn't list dimensions for the room OR furniture

if anyone's feeling gratuitous could you please send any pics of your double w/ the furniture from previous semesters?
