First year schedule (also, how popular are these seminars)

<p>they're not that great, but try anyway. make up some excuse like your course requirements for your major conflict, or sport practices or something. they won't know if it's true or not. </p>

<p>you can take an introsem or a class that satisfies TWO GER's during winter.</p>

<p>^Thanks I'll try. Probably complain about there not being a Chem 36 in winter and I need it for my major or something similar. My Counselor is Professor Gerald G. Fuller. He seems nice; he'll probably help me create something (do you know anything about him?)</p>

<p>^no. my academic advisor wasn't too helpful, as was the case with many people. so don't rely to much on them.</p>

<p>Yeah I know but this dud just one some sort of award for being helpful to undergrads. That's gotta be something right?

<p>yeah. hopefully yours helps more than mine and other's i've heard of.</p>

<p>Hi. How is it that some people are making their schedules already? What are you going by?</p>

<p>Hey, well its simple really. First of all if your planning on going into engineering there's actually a handbook that help tells you what you have to take/strongly advise you to take. I don't know about other majors but they probably have something that helps you too. What are you thinking of majoring in?</p>

<p>I'm planning on neurobiology.</p>

<p>can you major in that for undergrad?</p>

<p>Sort of. You can do what I am doing - major in Biological Sciences with Honors in Neurobiology. Similarly (sort of), there is a Psychology major with focus on Neuroscience.</p>

<p><a href="http://bulletin.stanford.edu%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://bulletin.stanford.edu&lt;/a> for classes.</p>

<p>Well in The bulletin it says :
First Year</p>

<p>A W S
CHEM 31X*, 33, 35, 36
MATH 19, 20, 21
Freshman requirements or electives
I guess those are the courses they recommend you take. Of course if you have credit for AP Math or Chemistry you schedule changes quite a bit.</p>

<p>Thanks..I'll just make my schedule around those classes :). -</p>

<p>did you do AP Calc or Chem? Cuz if you had your schedule would change quite a bit.</p>

<p>Neither, they weren't offered at my school.</p>

<p>Where do students typically place after AP Chem? I took it and enjoyed it, but that was junior year, and I'm afraid I might have forgotten some of it.</p>

<p>No worries. I was the exact same. I took Chem 31X in the fall, and it was a lot like AP Chem (similar topics, but more depth and tougher questions). So, there's not much point to going back to 31 A and B if you felt pretty comfortable with AP Chem. Did you take the AP exam and get 4 or 5? If so, no need for placement exam. I would just sign up for X.</p>

<p>really? I got a 4 - so no placement exam? That would be great.</p>

<p>nope no placement test. you don't even need to take 31X you know, I'm not.</p>

<p>True. I would recommend taking 31X if you're a pre-med, though. I believe it's a requirement. Otherwise, 31 is really not related to the o-chem series.</p>

<p>I need to take chem to take bio, but I'm not premed - I want to major in math with maybe a minor in bio, should I still take 31X?</p>
