<p>So I've been reading through CC, and a lot of people seems to know what classes they are taking already. I'm an incoming freshmen and I have NO clue what math##, chem##, etc. are and what I have to take. At the orientation, does UCLA expect you to know what classes to take? Do they explain you this?</p>
<p>There’s another thread about this somewhere on here, you should look it up. But no, you’re not really expected to know what classes to take, although I do recommend checking out the prereqs for your major (or the major you’d like) since a lot of orientation counselors are kind of clueless. The department websites usually have links that help to explain how the math/chem series work…that should clarify a lot.</p>
<p>What’s your major? We can help you a lot better if we know what you need :D</p>
<p>What classes would you suggest for someone who can’t decide between political science or math (or possibly even a life science, I’m really undecided haha)?</p>

<p>Do you already have a major or are you undeclared? If you are undeclared, you have 2 options:</p>
<p>A. Take GEs and get those done while hopefully deciding on a major
B. Take classes in each field you want to study and see which one you like the most</p>
<p>I was admitted as a Poli Sci major. I was thinking of maybe going for Math 31b, Poli Sci 40 (or whatever class I can get into), and LS2. Any opinion on that?</p>
<p>Im doing mechanical engineering.</p>

<p>This is a sample 4 year plan for MechE to graduate:

<p>The funny thing is if you passed the right AP tests you can completely forgo your entire first quarter…</p>
<p>Anyway, the orientation counselors will help you when you get there and tell you exactly what to take.</p>

<p>That sounds good.</p>

Why is there only 3 quarters listed per year?</p>
<p>because there are 3 quarters during the regular school year, fall winter spring. summer “quarter” is generally considered optional.</p>
<p>What dinoian said… kinda throws you off at the beginning.</p>
<p>You’ve got Fall, Winter, and Spring. Then during the summer there’s Summer quarter if you want to take some classes then.</p>
<p>Have yet received my AP scores. Hopefully, they’ll arrive before orientation begins.</p>
