<p>Hey upperclassmen, </p>
<p>What are our chances on getting the classes we want? I know it depends on major, but I was just wondering. By the way i'm majoring in psych.</p>
<p>You’re an upperclassman yourself or you’re an underclassman asking upperclassmen?</p>
<p>Last year I was a 2nd year majoring in business econ and I found it REALLY easy to get all my classes. However, I took a lot of upper div econ courses in freshman and soph year, so I basically qualified to take more advanced classes that had several upper div pre-reqs. So it also depends on how many pre-reqs and upper div classes you’ve completed.</p>
<p>Midnight I was wondering if you could tell me the classes you took your freshmen year. It’d be a nice blueprint for business economics majors ^^</p>
<p>I had a pretty hard time getting classes I wanted.
I’m a bio major, BTW.
For example, when I should have been taking Math 11A, I got a late sign up time, and the class was full, so now I’m a quarter behind on my math stuff.
I also didn’t get the chem class I wanted, so I ended up with a crap professor and struggled a little more in the next chem class.
Getting good GE classes was hit or miss. At summer orientation last year, I got all the classes I wanted, but the next quarter, I didn’t get the GE I wanted.
You really do have to plan ahead and anticipate not getting all the classes you want. Spend a good amount of time on the class search and make sure you have backups.</p>
<p>Is getting classes hard for computer engineering major?</p>
<p>@Cross: I actually wouldn’t suggest my freshman year course load because I was planning on fulfilling my requirements for the 3-2 Dual Engineering program with Berkeley and I took a lot of unnecessary engineering math/physics classes that econ students really don’t need at all. Also I took 4-5 classes a quarter so I could finish my program in 2 years and not 3. For that reason, here are some classes I took freshman year if I removed all my GE’s and engineering classes (basically business econ reqs).</p>
<p>Math 23A, Econ 2, CMPE 80N, Econ 10A, Econ 100B, Econ 100A.</p>
<p>I’m a bio major as well. So far I haven’t had any problem signing up for an math, bio or chem courses. It only good GE’s that I have trouble signing up for because they fill up quickly. I would say have plenty of backups ready just in case.</p>
<p>psych classes are pretty hard to get into. get yourself on waitlists and crash courses. but always have a full schedule even if its GEs and classes that you don’t need for your major. because classes get full fast.</p>
<p>Aww shiieet… Thanks though. Hopefully I could get some… Damn. I should have chose the first orientation day. </p>
<p>Thanks again :)</p>
<p>so if i plan to sign up for math, core course, and one GE class. Does that mean I am only able to sign up for that GE class during the orientation?</p>
<p>@Daydreamer81, Are there any GE courses you’d like to recommend? (:</p>
<p>There are so many different subjects and courses, it’s hard to make up my mind on which I want to take (and courses that would fulfill most GE requirements).</p>
<p>ryanpan, you should be able to sign up for core at orientation as well unless for some reason you didn’t take the writing placement exam when you were supposed to.</p>
<p>If you have high enough AP calc scores or have taken a college math course before then you would be able to enroll in math as well, if not then you have to wait until you take your placement exam.</p>
<p>No, the letter said that we are suppose to sign up for core at September.</p>
<p>Oh, that’s silly. I signed up for mine during orientation. Sorry</p>
<p>@Snowbee I don’t really have any recommendations as I have only taken 1 GE’s course which was Human Genome it is a very easy class homework the test only counted for 50% and as long as you did all the homework and research paper and put in the effort and get at least a C on the test there isn’t a reason why you won’t get a good grade. </p>
<p>Female Physiology is a good one. I wanted to get into that last quarter but couldn’t cuz it was packed.</p>
<p>Any prerequisites for female physio? I was under the impression that human physiology/anatomy required some sort of bio courses beforehand.</p>
