Amazing Campus Visit

<p>hopkinslax, so we don't have a placement test for Math?</p>

<p>i know i saw a refrigerator, desk chairs, and tv in one of the rooms...there's some size the refrigerator has to be though...</p>

<p>Math:
There are three intro series:
140 - Calculus for non-majors
160 - Calculus for majors, science majors, and engineers
170 - Theoretical calculus</p>

<p>The placement will be either through APs or SATs... If you get a 4 or 5 on BC you can skip 161&162 and go to 163 or 165
if you get 4 or 5 on ab you can skip 161 and go to 162</p>

<p>The refrigerator can't be above 4.3 cubic feet... You can also bring a microwave... Chairs are provided...

<p>what do u have to have on sats to be placed higher? does the sat II math 2c help any?</p>

<p>If you did well, then you will get into the 160... It's more of recommendation than a requirement.</p>

<p>hopkinslax, do you know who Harmon Potter is?</p>

<p>crabbylady:
microwaves - yes, refrigerators - yes, coffepots? not really Lol.
chairs? - yes tv's - yes
U can see for urself in one of the pictures i took of a dorm.</p>

<p>Wow, awesome pictures Awakien! I'm really excited to go now! I'm sending in my enrollment form on Monday.</p>

<p>He is a Delta Upsilon alumnus</p>

<p>Harmon Potter? Is that a joke? Or is there someone at UR whose name is Harmon Potter?</p>

<p>There was... he is an alumnus of the Delta Upsilon fraternity</p>

<p>Oh, Thanks!</p>

<p>heh.. so what's so bad about 170 lvl calc? and what do u need to do to get into that? </p>

<p>and im definitely skipping first year of chem. if i take 131 and 132, i'd be taking intro to chem for the fourth and fifth time, repectively. im sorry, but no.</p>

<p>Is there any penalty for students who skip classes? Actually, do they have very strict attendance policy?</p>

<p>You have to take at least 132 then (No way to skip it)
You need AB 4-5 or BC 3-5 to get into the 170 series... It is pretty tough (170) and it really won't help science majors (particuarly involving math) because everything is theoretical...</p>

<p>i see. so how do u skip 131? do u just say, i want to skip it or do u need ap or sat2 scores? cause my sat 2 scores are good, but my ap's are 3's.</p>

<p>yeah, do all the professors take attendance? i thought you didn't have to show up to every class?</p>

<p>You can only skip 131 if you have a 4 or a 5 on the AP test (SAT II's do not count). But you still must take 132 if you are a science major...
Professors will tell you their attendence policy. But you are paying 40K a year to attend. Why would you skip a class?</p>

<p>interesting... i was told that i could skip the first two semesters of chem by both the students i talked to (tho they were mostly chem engineering majors.. maybe it's different?) and the admissions staff. i really really don't want to be learning the same stuff all over again.</p>

<p>yea, i just posted something about hta in one of the other threads lol. skip freshmen chem</p>
