<p>Well congrats on your acceptance, wish me luck! BTW a lot of people say Calc 2 is bad but so far it really hasn’t been that hard (it might be my professor) but I’ve actually been doing slightly better in Calc 2 than in Calc 1 (which I got a very solid A in). Anyways maybe we’ll be in the same math at UCSD haha.</p>
<p>also^ @ UChopeful: congrats to you as well maybe ill see you catching up on pre-reqs with me also :D</p>
<p>I’m taking Calc 2 and Physics in the summer and an online C++ class. So in fall, I’ll be taking Calculus 3 and Physics 2, along with Chemistry 6A. </p>
<p>I registered to take Chemistry 6A at UCSD over summer, but $1200 plus the fact that it’s a 4 week class means I’d be committing GPA suicide.</p>
<p>i’m not doing any summer classes, my CC doesn’t really have many options for higher math and science classes (ie. Calc 1 is the highest math you can take over the summer, and no calc based physics classes are offered) and im not ready to move yet haha. So if I get in I’ll be taking Calc 3, Chem 6a and Physics 1 in the fall.</p>
<p>I’ll be caught up! the sad thing is, we’re considered Freshmen on our status page for “academic standing” lol.</p>
<p>It’s like we traveled back in time and managed to get accepted as freshmen again! If all goes to plan, I’ll be at junior status next year, so I’ll jump ahead a year and turn it into a 5 year degree, which is the average for engineering majors anyway.</p>
<p>Thats what worries me 
. The only way I can graduate in three years is to be taking 4 engineering courses a quarter, which some people say is basically academic suicide, and being there for 4 years doesn’t sound super appealing either.</p>
<p>I’m taking phys 2a, phys 2b, math 20c, and math 20e this summer at UCSD. I expect it to be difficult, but I’m prepared to make the sacrifices necessary to get a head-start on my prereqs. I want to be able to graduate in under three years and still be able to do internships the next two summers.</p>
<p>^ ouch, 2 labs during the summer, that will be rough. I’d be willing to take a summer class as I have plenty of time to do so, but my CC doesn’t offer anything useful and I live 500 miles from UCSD and if I get in and decide to go there I wouldn’t be able to go until fall.</p>
<p>There are no labs.</p>
<p>I’m going to do it. It’s only 4 engineering a quarter for maybe 2-3 quarters, and that’s what their academic plan shows. Everyone who goes to UCSD as a freshmen and graduates in four years with engineering, takes four engineering a quarter at least 3-4 quarters. That’s what makes the engineering bachelor’s so difficult.</p>
<p>@ UChopeful:</p>
<p>The physics classes don’t have labs?</p>
<p>The only physics at UCSD with a lab is 2C and the lab is a separate 2 unit course. </p>
<p>Physics 2A & 2B just have lecture and a discussion session on Fridays to work on problems.</p>
<p>For the physics sequence, EE majors are not required to take the lab. This is also the case with Chem 6a.<br>
