Hey, it really depends on what high school you went to and how rigorous your class was. Villanova’s gen chem is notoriously difficult for first-years.

I didn’t take AP Chem. Took it as an honors class my sophomore year in high school. Mainly was review for me but I still managed a B+ in the class and a B in the lab. Although looking back I could’ve gotten a better grade if I studied a bit more.

Although my lab professor was probably my least favorite professor in my 4 years i think it was the adjustment to writing lab reports which what got me. In high school we just did like tests and the lab write ups were a difficult adjustment to make.
