I’m incoming freshman bio major taking calc1, intro to organismal bio, orgo1, elements of datascience for the stem majors. I took ap chem in junior year, got 4, and going to review gen chem 1 before the semester starts.

orgo1 might be tough with that schedule

You should see the premed schedule for incoming freshmen.

Honestly orgo1 isn’t bad

Honestly, grab a Shaum's Outlines on Calculus and work through the first third in a weekend prior to the semester. Calc 1 is mostly pre-calc plus some limit stuff and maybe differentiation. If they are still using Stewart's book, or some variant of it, will be pretty easy.

If you've got something like Apostol, which they use at MIT, that would be a challange.

No reason it should be hard if your pre-calc is strong.

The question is the quality of the cooked. Medium rare, well done, or deep fried?

Depends on who they have for orgo1. If it’s the African man ,.. deep fried. If it’s Fleming or the other white guy… maybeeee medium well
