I took “college-equivalent” general chemistry at my high school (taught at the high school). Do I need to take General Chemistry?

 In our experience, high school courses (even those listed as college-equivalent and taught at a high-level of rigor) cannot replace college-level first-year chemistry, and students who skip this find themselves at a disadvantage later on (especially in the laboratory). For these students who will need to take other chemistry at BU (Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry, etc.), we recommend taking CH109.
