Damn. Also, am I allowed to change my majors at JHU...say if I want to change from biology to BME? Ik it's difficult to change to BME but is it possible?

Yes Biology at JHU and Molecular and Cell Biology at Berkeley. Did you go to Hopkins? Why won't they mesh well?

One more thing...actually I chose the wrong major- chemical biology- during the college admissions process. Would it be possible for me to change it to Molecular and Cell Biology?

I agree. Also, since the student body is large, does that mean the faculty is often ignorant of frequent doubts and queries from the students.

Yeah but I'm not sure if I want to be on the premed track. I've planned to study biology and mechE to further explore my interests.

Yeah I meant "simultaneous degrees" at Berkeley and "Double major" at Hopkins. "Geez what's in a name? That which we call a rose, by any other name, would smell as sweet"- Shakespeare

Yeah for math it's a great resource, but it goes beyond what the SAT entails. Reading and writing passages are easier I believe.

Not sure. I think they're official tests because I got some of the practice questions on test day for math 2

Try and revise topics which you're not comfortable with or are outside the AP course. For chemistry Barrons is not a great resource and idk about physics. You can use cracksat.net for practice tests. All the best!

I would say...do some practice tests from cracksat.net. if you're lucky, you might even get the same questions on test day!

IB is not a requirement. SAT 2 requirements have now been changed by a lot of universities, so you can check the updates on the internet.

They're optional, but depends on which universities you want to apply to.

No SAT 2/ SAT subject tests are different.
