<p>I seriously don't know which class to choose in phase I. I'm a premed so I have to take both. Math is more important but I don't know if I should register for that class during Phase I because there are more spots available compared to English R1A.</p>
<p>The R&C requirement classes fill up more quickly, according to CalSo counselors. So, given their advice, you should register for R1A during phase I.</p>
<p>However, remember that you do not have to take R1A your first semester. It's important to continue with mathematics, as it's the only subject that requires continuous practice.</p>
<p>When do I have to take the R&C by?</p>
<p>Also, do med schools only take English R1A as their 1 year of english requirement? They don't take other R&C courses?</p>
<p>no, you can take any of the r&c courses to fulfill med school's english requirement</p>
<p>It is recommended that you finish both halves of the R&C by the end of your sophomore year, however there are seniors who finish the R&C their last semester.</p>
<p>(However, some capped majors require that you finish the R&C at the end of two years, prior to admission into the major.)</p>
<p>Thanks for the responses. Seriuos? You can take any R&C courses to fulfill the medical school requirement? Even rhetoric or asian american studies?</p>
<p>Yes, and the "studies" R&C classes are a helluva lot easier than the English or Rhetoric classes.</p>
<p>I learned a LOT in rhetoric R1A. The professor was so helpful that the way I write has changed fundamentally, as in a 180 degrees turn. So while the rhetoric r&c courses have the reputation of being more difficult, you WILL improve your writing skills.</p>
<p>was rhetoric r1a hard?</p>
