<p>Hii so I'm planning on doing Econ/Pre-Business and these are the classes I want to take:</p>
<p>UGBA 10 [Phase 1]
Econ 1 [Phase 1]
Stats 21
Math 1B (5 on Calc BC)
Chem 1A (to keep options open)
an English course for the requirement R1A
Freshman Seminar: I signed up already</p>
<p>so any suggestions on which of these classes to take the first semester? or anything else because im new at this. thanks :)</p>
<p>I'm taking almost the same classes too!</p>
<p>Maybe we'll be classmates :)</p>
<p>5 on Calc BC actually covers Math 1B, but you can take it if you want to. You can always take classes to fulfill breadth requirements, since you're already taking UGBA 10 and Econ 1.</p>
<p>Out of the list you have, I would only take at most 2 of the 4 main prerequisites (UGBA , Math, Econ, Stats) in any one semester so you can focus on them. As a 2nd year pre-business student, I tried to take care of both halves of R&C in my first year, and went through the prerequisites based on which ones I felt most prepared for first. & I would suggest throwing lots of breadth within each of your semesters for the next 2 years. Since you're already doing UGBA 10 & Econ 1 in Fall 2008, I would highly suggest taking a R&C or a breadth and keep your schedule relatively simple so you can succeed in your two Haas breadth classes and get acclimated to the Berkeley environment.</p>
<p>hey, is it crazy to take 25 units a semester for Cal?</p>
<p>ROFL that's insane. Max is probably like 20 units.</p>
<p>25 units a semester would be ridiculous. Assuming 4 units is about 5 hours of lecture/discussion time per week, you'd be spending approximately 30 hours per week in class. 6 hours a day, plus homework and studying (and meals) would kill you.</p>
<p>Not to mention, how would all your classes fit? I have trouble fitting four classes, especially with labs.</p>
<p>The max is 20.5 units I think? It depends on the college</p>
<p>would Chem 1A satisfy a breadth requirement..</p>
<p>yea physical sciences</p>
<p>About Stats 21, I thought about taking it in the fall too. But I think the professor who's teaching it is supposed to be horrible. Purves, I think? So you might want to rethink that.</p>
<p>so... considering i already took principles of business, ap macroeconomics, ap statistics, and chem ap in high school </p>
<p>would this courseload be too difficult?</p>
<p>UGBA 10
Econ 1
Stats 21
Chem 1A
Reading & Composition R1A
(19 units)</p>
<p>or I could take Stats 21 the second semester and just take a seminar for now (16 units)?</p>
<p>haha thanks for the help guys :)</p>
<p>dont take 3 haas prereqs in one sem... trust me u wont do well specially when u add chem 1a to it. doesnt matter if u took ap's college level classes are a diff ballgame. take econ, chem, rc, and a seminar. drop the ugba n stats cuz that be intense ****</p>
<p>Why do you want to take Chem 1A? </p>
<p>If you are trying to earn high grades in your Berkeley classes, it is a HUGE mistake to assume that just having taken an AP course, and even earning a 5, will mean much. A 5 on an AP test is equivalent to a B in most Berkeley classes, B+ at most.</p>
