<p>Physics/Astrophysics frosh here. These are some of the courses I'm considering other than the core course:</p>
<p>Math 19B
Math 20A
Math 23A
Phys 5A
Phys 5L</p>
<p>I've satisfied about half of the gen ed requirements with AP courses, and am entering with about 50 to 60 credits completed as a result. Suggestions for back up courses?</p>
<p>Well, how about the rest of your gen ed? I’d start with Calc and the lower div Physics, plus a gen ed to balance it out.</p>
<p>Kind of off topic but… I am a molecular cell developmental bio major and I am wondering if I need physics as a requirement (not as a GE)? Btw, I’ll see you in math 19b assuming there is one class! :)</p>
<p>^You’ll need Physics but the 6 series not the 5. </p>
<p>@needforspeed897 Definitely go with Physics 5A/L (you need to take both at the same time) it’s only offer once a year so you’ll be behind if you don’t take it. Decide which math class to take depending on where your math skills are or a GE.</p>
