<p>OMG!</p>
<p>*stares and points finger: :p</p>
<p><-- poor bse reject :o..... rapelye obviously wasnt 'kicked about' us ;)</p>
<p>probable BSE here...:) <strong>waves to ivyboy05</strong></p>
<p>oh look! Another one!</p>
<p>oooh oooh! someone go get the video camera! should we feed them something to keep them around? mmm...wanna soda? some grasshoppers, maybe?</p>
<p>Wait...you CAN be rejected from BSE? What? I thought if you got into Pton and you applied for BSE you were automatically accepted...Oh well. BSE kid right here. I don't know if I really want to do it because I have realized that I truly hate physics, and although ORFE interests me, I don't want any more physics than I have to take.</p>
<p>You can choose which one you want when you fill out an advising form to match you with an advisor. The forms come with the packets that you'll get in may/june and basically just ask you to list some possible interests and some possible classes for the fall. Its really easy to switch back and forth, especially if you do so before you start taking classes, are following a similar path, or have a lot of AP science credit. Its also really really easy to switch from BSE to AB. Finally, theyve been talking about making ORFE and AB major as well, similar to how you can major in COS either as an AB or BSE-- the only difference is the distribution requirements that you have to fill</p>
<p>OHHH...I really hope they do that...SOON. As in NOW. before I sign up for physics 103 and 104...</p>
<p>quick q about these prereqs: "Familiarity with teh calculus at the level of MAT 103/4 or AP Calc BC" --> what is that in IB language for us AP-deprived folk?</p>
<p>Calc BC is basically calculus 2 - probably you just need to be able to integrate anything they throw at you, so you need to know integration by parts, trig substitutions, that sort of thing. So.... higher level? I don't know IB speak ;)</p>
<p>basically, you need a decent working knowledge of calculus and you need to know how to use a ti-89. I only had AB calculus, as did many others in my class. It was definately harder than for some people who had had multi, because they would tlak about concepts from multi or linear in class...but theyll teach you almost anything you need to know</p>
