<p>For the incoming freshmen to college of chemistry, we must submit a planned class schedule, what courses do we list..? I'm a chemistry major. well, on the website it says freshmen are expected to enroll in the following courses: chem 4a, math 1a or 1b, english r1a, chemistry c96. do i just list those.. as my planned course..</p>
<p>You have to take Chemistry 4A, regardless of how much chemistry you've taken in high school. This general chemistry class will whip you into shape.</p>
<p>Pretty much everyone takes Chemistry/Chemical Engineering C96, a 1-unit seminar about current research in the College of Chemistry. It's a requirement, though in rare cases you can substitute it for a similar seminar (e.g. bioengineering) if you have a good reason for doing so. You might need the undergraduate dean's signature to do this. But, yes, unless you are a special case, you should put Chemistry C96 for your planned course schedule.</p>
<p>You need to take your first math class, too. Which one depends on how much math you have taken. If you are not testing out of any math courses, you would need to put Math 1A. Others put Math 1B, Math 53 and Math 54 based on their AP/IB scores and community college classes. Theoretically if you have complete everything through linear algebra and differential equations beforehand, you wouldn't need to put any math class, but I'm sure this is a very rare case.</p>
<p>You should also take a class towards fulfilling the university's "Reading and Composition" requirement. These are the "R1A" and "R1B" classes (not necessarily <em>English</em> R1A--there are other department for this). Some people can test out of half or all of this requirement with AP/IB tests.</p>
<p>Don't worry if you are confused. At your CalSO there will be plenty of time to go over all of the finer details. The best thing to do is peruse the College of Chemistry's "Announcement" (which contains all of the policies on these types of things) and look through the university's requirements as well (R&C, American Cultures, etc.)</p>
<p>alright cool. thank you sir. I'll be sure to ask questions at CalSO.</p>
