<p>Hello everyone! I'm an entering transfer. I want to go to business school. Thus, I plan to take some prerequisites as well as some french courses for fall 2012 semester. The couses I want to take for fall semester are listed as follows:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>COMM1800 Making Business Work</p></li>
<li><p>COMM 2010 Financial Accouting</p></li>
<li><p>STAT 2120 Intro to Statistical Analysis </p></li>
<li><p>French 2010 Intermediate French</p></li>
<li><p>CS1111</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Here are something that I really hope you guys can give some advice:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>COMM 1800 and CS1111 are already full this time, and I will not be able to select class until july 30th, so if I am waitlisted, can I choose another two classes? What's the possibility of getting in if I'm waitlisted?</p></li>
<li><p>I also want to know about the registration steps. Is there anything I still need to do after I select "enroll"? What's the difference of "enrollment appointment July 30th" and" rollment Dates by Session August 1st" ?</p></li>
<li><p>They transfered my econ class into ECON 2020 (Principles of Economics II), so I'm really confused whether or not I still need take the ECON 2010 (Principles of Economics I), which is a prerequisite for business school...</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Stat 2120 has had a series of bad professors. I’d look up the current prof on thecourseforum.com If there is not a new prof, it might pay to delay that course another semester in the hope that a better prof will be available.</p>
<p>Econ 2020 is macr and 2010 is micro. They recommend taking 2010 first, but it is not required to take them in order.</p>
<p>No no definitely take cs in the fall. It is only 150-200 students in the fall but 500-600 in the spring. Are you sure you want to take 1111 not 1110 or 1112?</p>
<p>You are looking to have an ambitious and in reality a heavy course load by trying to complete all of the Commerce School prerequisites in one year. While at orientation I would stop in Rouss/Robertson Hall and have an appointment with an advisor/admissions counselor for McIntire. Most 2nd year transfers have at least some of the prerequisites done with other courses they matriculate in with for credits ie Economics, Accounting, etc. </p>
<p>Also, I think you are focusing on the computer class because the McIntire website suggest you take it. However, very few students do take it that are looking to have a concentration in finance. I would use that slot in your schedule to take another area requirement or Commerce prerequisite. </p>
<p>You really need to plan this out, hence why a meeting with an admissions/advisor in McIntire is imperative at this juncture to see if this is even feasible. </p>
<p>I had two 4th year comm students take cs1110 in one of my labs… If it’s not a prereq then definitely wait to take it unless you’re interested (you’re looking at 1111?). CS is a great major also if you end up not wanting to do comm.</p>
<p>Thanks a lot to everyone who replies to my post. I really appreciate it.</p>
<p>Now I’m considering taking COMM 1800, ECON2010. For class Econ 2010. it seems that all the discussion sessions are already closed… Should I select another ECON 2010 class that doesn’t have a discussion session? What’s the difference?</p>
<p>charlieschm, thanks for the update. Do you know where can I get the textbook for Comm1800?</p>
<p>hazelorb, I’m thinking about cs1111 because I receive transfer credit for cs1110. I’m interested in cs, not because it is good for commerce Should I continue to take cs1111? I’m a bit concerned because I don’t know what I will learn in CS1111. Have you taken the class before? thanks</p>
<p>woosah, thanks for the reply. Yeah, I have an advisor in school of arts and sciences, but I’m also looking forward to talking to someone in commerce school. Who should I talk to after I arrive on campus?</p>
<p>Will I be able to get in the waitlist class? When will I be able to change my class after I talk to my advisor and confirm the class? </p>
<p>If you have credit for cs1110, the next course is cs2110 not 1111. I took 1111, it is for people who are self taught or took AP CS and didn’t get a good grade, or who know cs but don’t know java. If you have taken a full semester/year of CS in high school/college, 1111 is not for you. If you are interested definitely use CS for electives. It is great, interesting, and will also help you get a job. It is great when your interests naturally lead to jobs Let me know if you have any more CS questions!</p>
<p>If you get registered for Econ 2010, I’d imagine the U. will find a discussion section for you in any case. New discussion sections can be added, or capacity can be increased. If you can find out who is the head TA for the class, they may be able to give you advice. Try to get on a waiting list for a discussion section - many seats in various classes open up during August as people revise their schedules. This could conceivably be the last semester that Elzinga teaches, so I’d try to take 2010 this semester if you can.</p>
<p>I’m guessing that any econ 2010 class that doesn’t require a discussion section is probably a smaller class taught by a grad student. If the prof is good (like Elzinga), stick with the larger class. If a prof would be bad (in a different class), sometimes it is better to take your chances with the grad student.</p>
<p>For Comm 1800, as of last year, it was easiest and cheapest to order it online. It is a self-published book written by the prof. I’m guessing the same system applies this semester, but I don’t know for sure.</p>

<p>TEXT: How Business Works: Making Profits, Taking Risks, and Creating Value
AUTHOR: Robert S. Kemp"</p>
<p>You might be able to find a used copy from another student. Some people sell books through the student facebook pages (such as “Official University of Virginia Class of 2015” page).</p>
<p>I know you are excited to get the ball rolling, however I would not order any books until you are registered in the course. </p>
<p>Are you coming in with any of the prerequisites completed for Commerce? Before you go any further you can either meet with a representative at McIntire during open office hours or call them on the phone and ask for the admissions/advisor for the day. Again, you need to get this done sooner rather than later. </p>
<p>If you are only allowed to apply as a second year then you need to take ACCT 2010 in the Fall as well since it is sequential with the ACCT 2020 for the Spring. Econ 2010 and 2020 can be taken in either order. STATS at UVa can be difficult for some. S2 got an A but it is A LOT of work as is ACCT 2010. From what I can tell, here is what you need to do:</p>
<p>Fall:
ECON 2010 or 2020
COMM 1080
French 2010
ACCT 2010
CS or STAT 2120 or another prerequisite for Commerce ie humanities or english if they did not give you credit for it from your previous institution.</p>
<p>Spring:
ECON 2010 or 2020
ACCT 2020
French 2020
STAT 2120 if you did not already take it.
Open for a prerequisite for Commerce or another major or an area requirement. </p>
<p>Here is my concern. If you do not get into McIntire you have not whittled away at your area requirements nor set yourself up for a backup major which you have to declare at the end of 2nd year. In your case you will not hear back from McIntire until late May/June since you will still need to complete more than one prerequisite. So you will need a backup major and if they require prerequisites too (which most do) you need those completed. </p>
<p>Again, you are looking at a rigorous course load, hence why most have two years to complete these. And that is even if you can get into the classes you want. If I were you I would ask if you can apply as a third year. They sometimes will allow it, but ask sooner rather than later. This would free up your schedule a bit.</p>
<p>Woosah, thank you so much for the reply! I have transfer credit for Econ 2020, cs1110 and I have already satisfied Foreign Language requirement. Thus, what course do I need to apply to get into McIntire when I’m in third year? Thanks a lot!</p>
Should I continue to take cs1111? I’m a bit concerned because I don’t know what I will learn in CS1111. Have you taken the class before? thanks</p>
