<p>So I just completely reworked my schedule so I'm not on so many wait lists and having scheduling conflicts. It now looks like:</p>
<p>Math 16A
CS 10
MCB C62
Cog Sci C1</p>
<p>14 units</p>
<p>I'm on the wait list for the Cog Sci class, but I was wondering if my schedule is too "technical" or I should switch a class out for something english related. Thanks!</p>
<p>What are your potential majors? Any other factors such as premed?</p>
<p>Cognitive Science
Math 16A and Cog Sci C1 satisfy 2 of the prerequisites and the CS class I’ve heard is a good prep for CS 61A which is another prereq.</p>
<p>Any AP scores or other credit coming in?</p>
<p>Note that a Cognitive Science requirement, Math 55 or CS 70, requires “Mathematical maturity appropriate to a sophomore math class.” Meaning the course material may be a big step up in difficulty compared to Math 16A.</p>
<p>You can preview CS 61A here:</p>

Summer 2011: [CS</a> 61A Summer 2011: Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs](<a href=“http://www-inst.eecs.berkeley.edu/~cs61a/su11]CS”>CS 61A Summer 2011: Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs)
Spring 2011: [CS</a> 61A Home Page](<a href=“http://www-inst.eecs.berkeley.edu/~cs61a/sp11]CS”>CS 61A Home Page)</p>
<p>The books and computer language interpreters for the course are all free (legally) on the web.</p>
<p>looks peachy, go for it.</p>
<p>I’ve taken 10 AP tests and probably have some credit there, but I’m not sure how much. I also haven’t gotten my scores back on 5 of them yet.
Thanks for the advice, I’ll look into that.</p>
<p>If AP Calculus AB or BC was among your AP tests, take a look at these pages:</p>

<p>If AP Computer Science A was one of your AP tests, you may find going directly to CS 61A to be a better idea than CS 10.</p>
<p>Looks like a good first semester schedule to me. CS10 and Math 16A will be a breeze. Cog Sci C1 isn’t too difficult but can involve a lot of reading depending on which professor is teaching.</p>
<p>I would throw in something completely different that satisfies a breadth to change things up a little bit and explore some other fields - but that’s just my personal preference. Your schedule, though definitely not too difficult, looks a bit boring. CS10 was pretty fun, though.</p>
