<p>How does this look? Too hard? Too easy? Suggestions?</p>
<p>I believe you will have to take a social science class not in the econ department. Also, while it can be fun to plan out your schedule, keep in mind that probably not ever course will be offered exactly the semester you want to take it, and that there will be schedule conflicts, so just stay flexible! Also, keep in mind that it is more common to take four courses in a semester than 5, and I don’t know that it is a great idea to take 5 first semester of freshman year before you have a chance to get settled.</p>
<p>Quite right on all counts. Strongly advise taking no more than 4.5 credits first semester. You will take a math placement test - talk to the math folks after you get to Swat to figure out the most appropriate math course to take. Look carefully at the distribution requirements, writing requirements, and the 20 course rule. It is fine to have a plan, but as Helmuth von Moltke the Elder wrote: “no plan of operations extends with any certainty beyond the first contact with the main hostile force.”</p>
<p>I hope your intended degrees are either-or, not both? If you double-major, you are not allowed to have any minors except in the Honors program if the Honors minor is the same subject as your second major.</p>
<p>General advice: Don’t plan 5-credit semesters, let them happen as awesome electives pop up. Be flexible with your planning, but as someone who also has her entire college courseload planned out, don’t listen to the naysayers and do what keeps you comfortable.</p>
<p>You do realize that you only need 4 PE credits? So if you take one half-semester class each semester, you’ll be done in four semesters. I’d probably advise cutting Math 29 from Fall 2011 in favor of Math 28S, but scheduling may make the decision for you. English first-year seminars are often lotteried.
