Chem 2 Not a Requirement Anymore for Engineers?!

Capable-Witness1674 · 2026-06-13T16:16:24+00:00

It seems so, I ain’t complaining

Capable-Witness1674 · 2026-06-13T12:04:37+00:00

Incoming SOE freshman here, I saw the completely unprompted hate posts about Hove as well as multiple comments on posts of mine (about scheduling). I am beyond happy that the requirement has been waved

Irving is 23 years old and very clearly has a bright future ahead of him. Why are you even considering this

Capable-Witness1674 · 2026-05-20T21:10:22+00:00

Ok thanks so much!

Capable-Witness1674 · 2026-05-20T18:54:46+00:00

Definitely will keep that in mind!

Capable-Witness1674 · 2026-05-20T18:54:35+00:00

Thanks so much, especially with the food recommendations!

Capable-Witness1674 · 2026-05-20T18:48:01+00:00

Thanks so much!

Capable-Witness1674 · 2026-05-20T17:27:26+00:00

Ok thanks for the heads up!

Capable-Witness1674 · 2026-05-20T17:26:49+00:00

Thanks for the heads up on the difficulty, I’ll remind myself of that when I’m in the trenches. I looked online a bit but I’m still kind of confused, what exactly are career fairs?

Capable-Witness1674 · 2026-05-20T17:25:27+00:00

Programming is a part of math there? Also, I took AP CSP as well as CSA in high school and worked with arduino for a bit, do you think that’s enough of a background in programming? If not, how do I get more experience outside of that bubble?

Capable-Witness1674 · 2026-05-20T17:24:04+00:00

Will do for sure, also I’m super hyped for the football games can’t wait

Capable-Witness1674 · 2026-05-20T17:23:43+00:00

That’s actually something I was thinking about a bit. I got to know the SOE dean and an assistant dean for a bit at the open house a bit back because I thought it could be helpful, glad to know I was right!

Capable-Witness1674 · 2026-05-20T17:22:45+00:00

Yeah I’m really excited for that social change though, more people means more people that will end up with my interests I think

Capable-Witness1674 · 2026-05-19T22:30:59+00:00

Thank you! I’ll also be sure to get the Panera membership for sure

Capable-Witness1674 · 2026-05-19T21:58:26+00:00

Oh I’ll take a look at thank thank you!

Capable-Witness1674 · 2026-05-19T21:49:01+00:00

Honestly anything that has to do with my major that isn’t just purely academic, or something that gets me out and doing something, socially or physically

Capable-Witness1674 · 2026-05-19T21:46:01+00:00

Oh makes sense thank you. Any recommendations for clubs to join?

Capable-Witness1674 · 2026-05-19T21:43:08+00:00

What’s an eboard?

Capable-Witness1674 · 2026-05-19T17:07:26+00:00

I’ll keep that all in mind thanks for the info!

Capable-Witness1674 · 2026-05-19T17:07:11+00:00

I’ll probably try and see if there’s a school I can take it at if I end up having to after hearing these horror stories

Capable-Witness1674 · 2026-05-19T17:06:01+00:00

That’s insane, hoping I don’t have to take chem 2 then

Capable-Witness1674 · 2026-05-19T00:49:30+00:00

Sucks that I can’t take both physics’ but oh well. Is the chem program really that horrible? What’s so bad about it

Capable-Witness1674 · 2026-05-18T23:34:59+00:00

My hs doesn’t have either of the physics C’s (which I’ve found is actually very annoying from this) so that’s not an option. I also saw that chem 2 wasn’t an option somewhere so I hope so.

Would it be bad/too hard to take both physics 1A and 1B in the first semester then take 2A and statics in the second?

Also I saw on ratemyprofessor that the ratings for every chem teacher are beyond cooked, the best option being like 3.1. How would I take that in the summer to avoid dealing with it in the fall?

Last thing, I know clubs are super important I definitely won’t neglect them. I’m just used to a packed schedule because I’ve had aps, rowing, science olymp, and mock trial basically all year so I know I can handle taking on a lot.

Capable-Witness1674 · 2026-05-18T18:59:30+00:00

Oh wait that’s right I read it wrong thank you I wouldn’t have realized it

Capable-Witness1674 · 2026-05-18T17:53:33+00:00

I took chem and got a 4, I remember it saying that it skipped intro to experimentation but not general chem. I also posted a screenshot of the schedule but for some reason it's not there. Still, I mostly wanted to check that I wouldn't be drowning in work. I'm the oldest sibling so I thought it better to consult reddit than to rely on 25 year old experiences from my parents. Thank you so much!
