<p>I think (at this point at least) that I'd like to go the Econ investment banking route, so tell me if this sounds like a good first semester schedule..</p>

<ol>
<li>First year seminar</li>
<li>Intro to Microecon (AP credit for Macro)</li>
<li>Spanish/ Chinese (whichever I decide on.. I could probably place into Intermed. Spanish)</li>
<li>Either International Politics, Politics and the Studies of Politics, TV & American Culture, or the other Spanish/Chinese</li>
</ol>

<p>Does this seem alright?
Suggestions?</p>

<p>And for first year seminars, any information on the following professors so that I can make my decision would be greatly appreciated:</p>

<p>Jon Isham
Elizabeth Napier
Alexis Peri
Amy Morsman
William Poulin-Deltour</p>

<p>well, it seems pretty ok to me. I have some friends who had similar schedules, and they did just fine. I would avoid taking 2 languages a semester though. </p>

<p>Calc if you need it and it won’t be too hard…before all that math from HS drains away…Start Chinese if you ever want to learn it. It is a bb of a course, but you’ll be VERY desirable for business later on.
If you do Chinese, pick a 4th course that you think will be easy. If you do Spanish, maybe Int Politics.</p>

<p>Agree with OBD.</p>

<p>I’m in need of advice, as well. I’m thinking of a sociology-focused FYS, and am looking to take Arabic and French as two out of my three additional courses. For my final pick, I’m lost. What subject? I was thinking maybe Intro to Psych, some sort of religion class, or Art History…</p>

<p>What are some of the easiest classes?
I’m awful at science…</p>

<p>Nothing is really easy, unless you are good at it. HOWEVER, some of the intro Arts classes can be a welcome change in terms of the left/right brain thing.
My S thought intro Architecture would be “easy” and had a hard time getting a B…
Have heard “The Creative Process” in Dance department is interesting and fun if you are willing to engage in something different. Not an easy A so much as difficult to get a C if you participate fully…</p>
