General high schooler questions

<p>Im applying as an electrical engineering major but might switch to accounting after a semester or a year, if i hate engineering and i have a few questions.</p>

<ol>
<li><p>I know that case is known to be a small school and that they have pretty small class sizes. Are the accounting an engineering classes also small? By engineering classes I also mean the math classes, science classes, and engineering classes people take. Can you give me a rough estimate about how many students I should expect in accounting or engineering classes. </p></li>
<li><p>How rigorous are the accounting and electrical engineering and accounting classes. Im smart but im not too smart (hope that didnt come off arrogant). I get A-'s in my honors math and science classes and that is probably average in my school (i go to a school in the silicon valley and its pretty competitive). you can look at a couple of chance me threads I have posted to see a full list of my stats. </p></li>
</ol>

<p>thank you for your time.</p>

<p>Case is considered medium size…about 4600 undergrads and about 5700 grad students. The intro science and math classes (Physics, Calculus) will be very large 300+ And Chem 400+. Intro Acctg will be closer to 50. I can’t speak to the rigor of the Business classes but for Engineering be prepared for very rigorous courses meant to weed out those not meant to be Engineers. There is, however, a lot of support- tutors, study groups, supplemental instruction groups, etc. so if you are determined you’ll do fine.</p>

<p>@Sdgal2‌ how about when u get into ur specific engineering courses, for EE that might be like control systems analysis or whatever. how large are those classes?</p>

4

<p>A few of the EE/CS classes are up to about 100, but then the more advanced or specific fall to about 20-30.</p>

5

<p>There are many sections of math…they are relatively small.Back in the day when I took Chemistry it was a large lecture hall…but they had a very good teaching professor for that class. The TAs would help with homework as well.</p>

<p>Try asking your admissions counselor for more specifics.<a href=“Undergraduate Admission | Case Western Reserve University”>Undergraduate Admission | Case Western Reserve University;

<p>@halcyonheather‌ I don’t think you can access that without proper credentials…also, you probably should not give access because it would likely be tied to your info…</p>

<p>No, their class schedule is open for everyone to view and it has nothing to do with me. I just provided the link for convenience, but if it doesn’t work you can just Google “Case Western schedule of classes.”</p>

<p>Oh, ok. I tried but had to enter user name and password. Thanks for passing along the info.</p>

<p>You could search on say, Chemistry and you can see the number of students in the class. 100 level courses would be for freshman.</p>

<p>@bopper‌ thanks!</p>

13

<p>@bopper‌ @Sdgal2‌ so there are calculus classes with only 30 students. so there are small math and sceince classes at case right?</p>

14

<p>@toesockshoe‌ yes, after the intro courses</p>

15

<p>@Sdgal2‌ i thought calc WAS an intro course</p>

16

<p>And Calc II, Calc III, Calc for Engr, then many other Math courses</p>

17

<p>@Sdgal2‌ @bopper‌ so, would you consider case to be harder or as hard as gatech and berekely interms of engineering workload?</p>

18

<p>As hard</p>

19

<p>I can’t really compare the two having never been to GATech or Berkely, but all engineering curriculums are challenging.</p>
