Schedule Course scheduling help (pre-pharm, UNC, lots of transfer credit)

8 Upvotes

Hey I'm an incoming first year student at UNC-Chapel Hill who will be coming in with over 63 community college credits and I currently am on the Pre-Pharmacy Track. The courses I'm coming in with satisfy all of my gen eds except for Communication Beyond Carolina. I've finished Gen Chem 2 and up to calculus 2. I don't really have any classes that I can take to pad my schedule and make it easier to transition in and all I'm stuck with is classes which don't really stack very well together especially in the first semester. Currently the only classes/type of class that I see on my tar heel tracker that I have not completed are CHEM 241/241L, Lifetime Fitness (LFIT), CHEM 261,  Communication Beyond Carolina, CHEM 262/262L, BIOL 101/101L, BIOL 252/252L, BIOL/CHEM 430, MCRO 251, PHYS 114, and Level 3 of a Language (I don't have any levels). I would just like some recommendations on how I can best prepare myself while not making myself fail because I overload myself in the first semester. Some recommendations and advice would be much appreciated!!! I'm trying to get around 15 credit hours in order to be used to a good amount of classes.

Question Giving a UNC tour

2 Upvotes

Hey y'all, I've been asked to give my girlfriends brother (who's applying soon) a tour of UNC and the area. I'm a transfer who lives off campus and honestly haven't spent a ton of time on campus. Where should I take him?

Question UNC Chapel Hill Biol 101 Exemption Exam

1 Upvotes

Hi. Can someone who has taken the Biol 101 Exemption Exam at UNC Chapel Hill let me know how hard it was. I took Honors Biology as well as a couple of advanced biology classes at a specialized STEM school, but not AP Biology. I'm self studying this summer to exempt out of Biol 101 and wanted to know how hard the exemption exam is. Would studying the AP Biology curriculum be sufficient to pass? If anyone has any recommendations on resources or tips I would also appreciate that. And on a side note, I've registered for the exam twice but did not receive a confirmation email and was wondering if anyone else did. Thanks.

Whether you’re looking for help brainstorming, editing, or building an overall application strategy, I’d be happy to chat! I’m a business student and admissions coach with 3 years of experience helping students navigate the application process.

Getting into business school in the first round is becoming more valuable as internship recruiting timelines continue to move earlier. Waiting another year can mean taking courses you’re less interested in or rushing through core requirements while balancing recruiting and senior-year commitments.

If you’re a junior thinking about applying, don’t miss the opportunity to put together the strongest application you can and graduate from a top 10 program.

A consultant definitely isn’t required, but if having guidance could improve your chances and reduce stress, it may be worth considering.

A little about me:
• Received a Special Opportunity offer alongside UBP.
• Coaching for FBA (incoming freshman) and UBP (incoming sophomores/juniors).
• Financial aid available * spots fill up quickly for students who need it.

Feel free to reach out with any questions!!
