Best schedule for Mechanical Engineering?

[wnmnkh]

<p>Hi. I am a upcoming freshman for this year. I have no clues for classes I need to take, avoid, etc.</p>

<p>I took AP Physics C Mechanics (4), Calculus AB (5), Chemistry & Biology (both got 4)</p>

<p>I also took Calculus BC this year and hoping to get at least 4.</p>

<p>I found the thread for easy misc classes, but I couldn't find some information about major classes for MechE. What classes do I need to take?</p>

<p>pretty much all the info's on there.</p>

<p>I believe entering freshman follow a common schedule?
With your AP scores, probably something like:</p>

<p>Physics 7a
Math 1b
E7
R1A
E45 (beware, this class is a LOT of work)</p>

<p>maybe Chem1A if you want to boost your GPA (since you got a 4)</p>

<p>Chem1A is definitely not what I would consider a "GPA booster", even for people who got a 5 on the AP exam. It's a weeder class and it has a good amount of work.</p>

<p>well you wouldn't take all of those classes. you'd probably take e28, math1a or 1b, chem 1a, and a humanities</p>
