<p>/another from NJ.</p>

<p>If my memory is correct, you can miss four classes a semester–but only two unexcused. Like–if you’re going to sci fair or HMMT or something or you were sick, that’s excused; you need to just bring a letter saying what you were doing the prior wk. It’ll all be explained when you get there day 1.</p>

<p>As for classes–you’ll get something in the mail in Sept., and you just send in your top choices for classes. I haven’t had a problem getting my top choices thus far (groups & symmetry, and then nanotech.). Just note that the math classes have a lot of very smart math-team-type kids and are quite hard.</p>

22

<p>Anybody get their class offerings yet?</p>

23

<p>I’ve been waiting for the class offerings to arrive…the acceptance letter said we’ll get them in “early September” - maybe by the 15th? Hopefully?</p>

<p>There’s also a form you need to mail in by the 25th. Classes start on the 29th at 10 a.m., Room 301 in Pupin Hall. </p>

<p>For those of you attending - see you there…</p>

<p>(By the way, I’m from NJ as well - should’ve mentioned it before…)</p>

25

<p>do people usually get their first choice?</p>

26

<p>from what ive noticed, people usually get their first choice (except for a few classes like nano that are really hot).</p>

<p>this would be my second year. i signed up for quantum.
last year i took neuro (which was okay..) and organic chem (cool labs at the end)</p>

27

<p>I’m a Jerseyite as well. :slight_smile: Accepted, DYING to take organic chem. </p>

<p>Hope to see you all there next Saturday!</p>
