<p>So I'm trying to plan out what classes I want/need to take for the next 4 yrs, and I know I want to double major in PoliSci and Econ. My question is, is it odd that in my Junior year I would end up taking 2 econ and 2 polisci courses in the same semester. I'm new to this so I was just wondering. </p>
<p>4 year plans are useless; they'll change for a number of reasons.</p>
<p>And double majors are also iffy, unless you have some very specific purpose in mind. Don't worry about all of these details; once you get to college and start taking classes, you'll find out what's normal and doable and such.</p>
<p>I agree with GoldShadow for the most part except that I do not think that 4-year plans are useless. Planning ahead gives you some sense of which classes you should take early because they are pre-reqs for many other courses, and how many courses in each subject you have to take every year to stay on track for both majors and complete gen ed requirements.</p>
<p>4-year plans have their limits though. The actual classes you will take will probably be completely different from the ones you think you will be taking at this point, and you may even change your mind about the double-major.</p>
<p>Yeah, I shouldn't have said that "4 year plans are useless". I agree with Barium that it's good to plan ahead, though such plans are relatively limited.</p>
<p>when you're in the upper-level courses for your major, it's pretty normal to take mainly those classes because at that point you should be winding down with the other general requirements.</p>
<p>also, don't freak out if you don't end up getting your perfect schedule..a plan (or, better, a set of flexible guidelines!) is a nice start, but don't try to write it in stone because you probably won't be that lucky. you have four years to figure it out, so don't stress if everything isn't going exactly as planned.</p>
