<p>I would like to know what a good class schedule should look like. Currently mine looks like this:</p>
<p>Tuesdays/Thursdays:
Chem 141: 8-9:45
Eng 190: 10-11:15
Math 211: 11:30-12:45
CS 170: 1-2:15 and 4-4:50</p>
<p>Monday:
Physics 151:2:30-5:30</p>
<p>I don't know how different college is from high school so I just packed Tuesday and Thursday like an average high school day. It seems like I have free days on weekends, Wednesday, and Fridays haha. Should I spread out the classes throughout the week instead?</p>
<p>Yes. Well if you know what you want to major in you can go over to the Emory course atlas and begin choosing your classes and registrar during orientation.</p>
<p>there’s no reason to plan your classes now. As a freshman, you won’t get into some of your classes even if you’re a Scholar, and they may be cancelled or changed.</p>
<p>Also, just to warn you, Math211 could be the one class in the department that’s very hard.</p>
<p>I would delay one of those classes (English). Or maybe switch chem for biology. Do something. Try to enjoy freshmen year. You don’t need to take five classes now.</p>
<p>I’m doing the 3-2 program with Gtech for engineering so I have to take more classes to meet the requirements.
What are these classes like compared to AP classes in high school because I might spread the classes out throughout the week if the classes require more time than an AP class.
211, isn’t that what most students take if they finished BC Calculus with a 4 or 5?</p>
<p>And the reason I have most classes stacked on Tuesdays and Thursdays is so that I can enjoy freshman year on the other days since there’s no class haha…</p>
<p>First semester freshmen are limited to 19 credit hrs of class so you will have to get rid of one of those (you have 20 right now). As of right now I believe most the math 211 sections and all the CS 170 sections are full so I would consider dropping one of those. And yes, 211 is the class students w/ BC credit are supposed to go into but many do not, and take 115, 119, 111, or 112 for the easy A, although I don’t recommend that. Your physics and chem class might eat up significant amounts of time due to their lab components, and even more if you have no prior AP experience (and if you do have the credit I would recommend Chem 221 and Phys 253 or 361 instead, especially if you are going into engineering). Just keep in mind that in college you don’t go to class nearly as much as hs but you can get a lot more work to do outside of class, so your schedule might seem deceiving at first in that respect.</p>
<p>But won’t Tech need gen. chem for him to enter the program? Therefore won’t he need chem. 142? Either way, if I’m wrong, the freshman Orgo. section (now 221) is awesome. I recommend it if you have been invited (or ask for an invite if you got a 5).</p>
<p>Oh, those physics labs can get pretty tough. Also, if you do exempt out of 151, you may still have to take 152.</p>
<p>One question, what do you plan on majoring in? Why Emory, and not straight to Tech as a freshmen. I warn that transitioning to Tech might be rough, even for an Emory student.</p>
<p>I haven’t taken AP Chem before, just AP Bio and Physics so I don’t think I can go into any chem classes beyond chem 141. @collegestu816 why is math 211 already full? @bernie2012 I applied as a biology major initially (will change to applied physics), but now I want to go into engineering and never realized that Emory didn’t have an engineering school so I’m trying to take on the 3-2 program. I know GTech is tough and it will probably be even harder for me since all the engineering stuff is crammed into two years. I want to make my schedule up to par with those who start freshman year as engineers so that I can have an easier transition.</p>
<p>Well from what everyone said so far I decided here is what I will be taking:</p>
<p>Semester 1 (17):<br>
Eng 190
Chem 141
Phys 151
Math 211 (If full then I’ll switch to another course)
PE 101 </p>
<p>A friend of mines. When Fall semester gets closer, hit me back via PM. I’ll probably give you my e-mail or a phone number so we can meet. And I can introduce to this person. He will be starting at Tech in the Fall, so he’ll have lots of insight. </p>
<p>Are you looking to do BME at Georgia Tech? I know some undergrad BME majors there. Wait that may be a dumb question because you’re doing applied physics major now. What type of engineering are you looking at?</p>
<p>Yes spread your classes out. If you have free days and all your classes are on TTH, then your screwed during midterms week, when all your work and tests will be on the same day. </p>
<p>
^^^^^ Exactly
Its stupid to plan your schedule this early. Its good you know what classes you want to take, but the time students are assigned to pick classes varies from student to student. So if you get a late time, all the good times for the classes you want may be gone by then. That is what happened to me. I ended up taking a lot of 8:30 classes my first semester, because I had a late lottery time to pick classes, and by the time it was my turn to pick classes, all the good times for the classes I wanted were gone. Some of my friends weren’t even able to get into the classes they wanted (let alone the right time for the class), because there time was later then mine.</p>
<p>I think math211 with brussel is still open.
put all the classes you’re considering in your shopping cart and make some lists of possible schedules and rank them. Then you can see what’s open right before your appointment.</p>
<p>Not exactly a lottery. Among the freshmen, the Emory Scholars get the earliest registration times, and everyone else is ranked by the number of incoming transfer credit hours (such as from AP exams or credit from college courses taken in hs); those with more hrs get the earlier times. Keep in mind that all the rising sophs, juniors, and seniors have already registered so many of the upper level classes are already full or nearly full at this point.</p>
<p>Is there a place where I can see which AP credits Emory accepts or do we send in all the scores for the AP tests that we wrote down on the common application?</p>
<p>If you put down Emory as the school to receive your scores when you took your AP exams in May, they should receive scores for all the exams you’ve ever taken. If not, you’ll have to call up CollegeBoard and pay a fee to send all of them.</p>
<p>Emory gives 4 hrs of credit in an equivalent 100 level class (aka a semester’s worth of class) for a 4 or 5 on all currently administered AP exams except for Human Geography which gets no credit, and Calculus BC which gets 8 hrs of credit. There are some limitations though, like you can’t get credit for two exams in the same foreign language or in AP English, and total AP credit is capped at 32 hrs (if you have more you can must decline some of them, although you can still those you declined to place into a higher level class). Also, Emory does not have a class they consider to be equivalent to AP USH, Euro, and World Hist., so if you have credit in one or more of those they will just give you “elective” credit that doesn’t count toward a General Education Requirement.</p>
<p>Alright thanks! What if you got a 4 or 5 on a physics exam but still want to take the introductory class…can I do that? I feel my physics isn’t as solid as I wanted it to be, and want to build a better foundation.</p>
