<p>Hello,</p>
<p>This Saturday I'll be moving in as a freshman, and I have some last-minute questions that involve fishy business with schedules.</p>
<p>During Telebears Phase 1 I signed up for chem 4a at the only lecture time available, MWF 10-11am. When I checked my Bearfacts schedule a few weeks later, the lecture magically jumped to 12-1pm. I had spent hours upon hours working out the best schedule, and although this did not create a conflict directly, there was no longer any possibility of taking a language class, which meets the same hour MT***.</p>
<p>During Telebears Phase 2 I signed up for Phys 7B with Smoot, the Nobel laureate who apparently can't teach if his life depended on it. I figured since I got a 5 on the AP Phys E&M and feel confident about physics in general (might major in it), it would be worth the experience even though Charman sounded like a more sane, more fair prof. So I was beginning to get excited about this (and bragged about it to multiple people), and guess what? I have no clue what made me do this, but I checked the CCN I was signed up for, and 68901 and 68952 swapped profs, so although the time is the same, I now have Charman. What is up with this!? Is this common!?</p>
<p>Now that I've asked that, a noob clarification: we might find out that we were accepted off the waitlist as much as several weeks after the start of intstruction, no? I am scared because I am still waitlisted for chem and math. The college of chem will ensure that I get chem because I'm majoring in ChemE, but will it be the time I asked for? Because if not, it might screw over my entire schedule. Also, I heard that Math (at least 53) gets overbooked every semester and everybody gets off the waitlist because more sections open and I shouldn't worry about it. Should I worry about this? Also, I got an email from some dude from the college of chem asking to transfer over to a lab that's still open that would either put me in a classroom <em>without pause</em> from 8am to 5pm, or make my workweek end at 6pm on Friday, either of which is death.</p>
<p>Also, are my 9 AP scores supposed to be mentioned on Bearfacts under Academic Record > All Grades (Unofficial Transcript)?</p>
<p>Thank you all in advance for reading this gargantuan post and helping me out!</p>

<p>One last thing: under All Grades, it says that I have "SUBJECT A" satisfied, but AH&I not satisfied. Doesn't the former encompass the latter? Taking AH&I is therefore not required, right?
Also, I like how Mon-Tue-Wed-Thu-Fri was replaced above with asterisks because the latter three letters are an acronym for profanity :p</p>
<p>Thank you very much.</p>
<p>^ Subject A does not satisfy AH&I... they're separate reqs you need to satisfy with different tests/classes</p>
<p>Check here: General</a> Catalog - Undergraduate Education - Undergraduate Degree Requirements</p>
<p>Perhaps you're confusing "Subject A requirement" with the "A" subject requirement, which are different. The Subject A requirement is the entry-level writing requirement. The "A" subject requirement fulfills AH&I thru the form of history classes from high school ; it's from that A-G course lists that you may hear about during applications. It's a confusing mess!</p>
<p>"Also, are my 9 AP scores supposed to be mentioned on Bearfacts under Academic Record > All Grades (Unofficial Transcript)?"</p>
<p>Yes, they are. But they haven't been uploaded for any freshmen, yet.</p>
<p>Thanks for the replies, guys. Can anybody address my other concerns?</p>
<p>Ethancc2, I live in Palo Alto too! If you went to Gunn we may even know each other! :p</p>
<p>Use the 10% rule to determine if you'll get off the waitlist. About 10% of a class usually drops, hence that number of people from the waitlist get into the class. If you're not in the upper fifth of the waitlist, you're probably not going to get the class, at least without arranging something with the Prof.</p>
<p>yeah what ethancc2 said.</p>
<p>i was wondering the same thing and almost got freaked out because i know i took history! haha. but someone told me that the AH&I score doesn't show until later, around the time second semester starts. if it doesnt by them you should contact a counselor or something.</p>
<p>So in other words, since I took 1.5 years of American History/Gov't, it should be satisfied and should be showing as such, but won't until later. (Right?)</p>
<p>Gotta love Berkeley. Now they should make a little less room in all their classes.</p>
<p>yup pretty much. also, is it just me or is myberkeley app not working?</p>
<p>Thanks for the confirmation. Don't know if it's just you, but it's working for me. Good luck.</p>
