<p>@objection: Yes, I believe they keep going down the list of your preference.</p>
<p>Is it hard to get into an impacted major? I was admitted into Warren college as undeclared, but I definitely want to pursue a Mechanical Engineering major.</p>
<p>@clarkfobes</p>
<p>My bad then. I don’t remember it as an option. So to answer the question, yes, it’s hard to get, but doubles are more like triples than you probably realize.</p>
<p>How hard is it to get the lower division and upper division classes you want each quarter? Does it vary by subject?</p>
<p>^Yes it varies by subject and it varies by the number of units you have because that determines your sign-up times.</p>
<p>By “the number of units you have”, meaning total units so far throughout college career?</p>
<p>^Yes. This policy is in place so that seniors, who have the most units and may need one last class to graduate will be allowed to enroll first.</p>
<p>hii, if i do a lecture on say monday, wednesday, and friday, is it better to take the discussion on either monday, wednesday, or friday? Or should I put the discussion on a tuesday or thursday? I mean, are we expected to completely know the material when we arrive at the discussion questions? I don’t know how the whole system works. </p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>What about the French program at UCSD? Can you take advanced classes to become fluent?</p>
<p>@ramennation: Yes, it may be difficult to get into an impacted major because there a lot of people pursuing that major, but it is possible if you have high enough grades when you switch later. Here’s more info: [UCSD</a> Jacobs School of Engineering](<a href=“http://www.jacobsschool.ucsd.edu/undergrad/undergrad_academic/academic_majors/impacted.shtml]UCSD”>http://www.jacobsschool.ucsd.edu/undergrad/undergrad_academic/academic_majors/impacted.shtml)</p>
<p>@New2ucsd: Um… it really depends on what your schedule will be like in the fall. People can schedule their discussion whenever they feel fits their schedule best. Discussion is not always mandatory in some classes, so some people don’t even go. For example, most math classes do not require you to go to discussion because in math discussions, most of the time you just go to get your quizzes/tests back and to ask homework questions so… people who think they are prepared and don’t need help with the homework (or people who don’t do homework, if the homework is not mandatory either, just don’t go to discussion). In other classes…like maybe Social Science classes, going to discussion may be part of your class grade. In those discussion, the TA actually may go over material in the class and conduct a discussion about it, but it really depends on the class when you need to know the material by. But…you have a long time before you actually register for classes. </p>
<p>@carlman: First, you should take the language placement test to see which class you belong in: <a href=“https://lang.ucsd.edu/llp/placement/[/url]”>https://lang.ucsd.edu/llp/placement/</a> . I believe the highest level is 1D, so that should be advanced because everything is taught in French. </p>

You should also consider studying abroad, you will definitely become fluent if you stay in France!</p>
<p>Hi clarkfobes. I was wondering how difficult the computer science B.S major is. I know it depends on the person, and I get straight A’s in my calculus/physics classes, but would it be too hard for a transfer student. On average, how much do you think a person studies and do you know any transfer CSE students?</p>
<p>@youseeessdee: </p>
<p>Well, as far as know, I’ve been spending a week at the CSE (computer science and engineering) Lab studying for my own finals and CSE majors are basically there 24/7 doing their homework and trying to finish up their projects !! It seems as though they study a lot…
UCSD engineering classes are hard in general so… yeah as long as you study/find study groups, etc, you should do fine.
I actually met a few transfers from De Anza CC, but I never really got their names X__X But if you just go to the CSE Lab and do your homework there, you are bound to meet many CSE majors. Judging from the CSE majors I know, they are actually really helpful and willing to help others out (esp transfers). </p>
<p>Btw, Check out your four year plan here: <a href=“https://aventeur.ucsd.edu/public/student_four_year_plans/?currentCollege=WA[/url]”>https://aventeur.ucsd.edu/public/student_four_year_plans/?currentCollege=WA</a></p>
<p>@clarkfobes</p>
<p>Thank you so much for telling me. It would have been pretty bad if I went there just to be have a rude awakening. I didn’t know what to expect though, because I thought there had to be a reason why the major was open. I thought either it was super hard or maybe just new, but thanks again for the heads up.</p>
<p>How hard is it to double in an impacted major?</p>
<p>@sarangyunho: Do you mean to double major if you are in one impacted major? It really depends on the major and yourself. Most impacted majors are really intensive in the sense that it requires many classes/units to graduate so you may not have time to take classes for the other major. Some people have to take 4 classes per quarter, summer school and maybe even stay for an extra year if they are really dedicated.</p>
<p>According to the site clarkfobes posted about the 4 yr plan for computer science, I have to take GE class during all four years of undergrad?!?! What is this madness?!?! ><</p>
<p>^Welcome to college.</p>
<p>Thanks. I’m thinking of a D who probably has already done what’s described in the classes you posted (through AP French plus advanced summer course in France). She is thinking of a double major in French. </p>
<p>Are there arrangements, perhaps, where UCSD students can take higher-level courses in French at a nearby university?</p>
<p>^do you mean taking the higher level courses at a community college or at another UC?</p>
<p>Usually CCs dont offer classes beyond the lower division ones. The higher level courses can be found at other UCs.</p>
<p>I don’t think there is a French major at UCSD.</p>
