<p>I was messing with the class pre planner and came up with this schedule:
CAT I
Math 20D
ECON 1
MGT 16
PHYS 2A</p>
<p>Is this schedule too difficult for the first quarter??</p>
<p>Potentially. And I might be the only one to tell you this, but don’t be afraid to try it out if you really want. It’s possible it could be a good amount for you. You can take those 5 for a couple weeks and after that you should know if it’s too much for you or not and then you can make the decision to drop what you need to. It’s much easier to drop a class than try to add one later if you wanted more.</p>
<p>I will say though that if it’s not necessary, 5 classes your first quarter may not be the best idea but it’s really up for you to determine. I know other people are going to tell you “You’re crazy. You should only take 3!!!”, but really, you’ll have to be the one to decide what’s right for you.</p>
<p>^ How difficult would it be to get all the classes that I want? Thanks for the help.</p>
<p>Why are you taking Math 20D?
You should start with Math 20C or 31AH if you finished AP Calc BC at high school.
Last year I came with AP Calc BC from HS and Math 20D from CC, and I had to take Math 20C @ UCSD.
First quarter I had easy 17 units.
DOC1, CSE8a, CSE8al, MAE2, Math20C, Eng1
This quarter I have 20 units
DOC3, CSE8b, Phys2BL, SE2, Math20E
Easy but a lot of homeworks</p>
<p>Firstly, an engineering major should never take the 31 series. It should only be recommended for math majors. If you’ve taken the course (as I have), you would know what I mean. </p>
<p>Secondly, the OP may have taken multivariable at his local community college, so it would make sense to start with 20D.</p>
<p>Thirdly, MGT16 is already filled, with a 30+ person waitlist in each section. Even if you wanted to take those 5 classes, you wouldn’t be able to.</p>
<p>Finally, unless you really need to graduate in three years, I would not recommend five classes your starting quarter. Take four if you must, but really enjoy the experience. College is not just a place to take classes. It’s a period of your life, and you should take advantage of all it has to offer. Once you get used to the workload of individual classes, you should then start taking five if you need to. As KingsElite said though, you have 4 weeks to drop a class. If you want to try it out, you definitely can with no repercussions as long as you drop one within 4 weeks.</p>
