<p>i dont get why you guys are saying late, were just in high school were not late for anything...in 1 year well start being late</p>
<p>u don't go set up a nuclear plant then start making an evacuation or coolant procedure.
you start planning everything before u even start building a nuclear plant..
get my point?</p>
<p>no im saying that we havent even started college and when you guys are saying novemeber its not like your talking about this november because that would make us have to have a job 2 months after entering college lol</p>
<p>collegekid, i think jfk is applying during this november 2008. you will be applying in nov 2009. i was telling him the application is due in late nov (20th-30th or so).</p>
<p>Actually I'll probably be applying November 2009 as well so me and Collegekid101 are kinda in the same boat. But it's always good to be told stuff like this in advance so I don't have to cram my ECs, say, a year from now.</p>
<p>Since the apps are sent in late November isn't that basically applying after only a year and a half (or 3 semesters)? And if I get an internship or some type of summer experience during the summer before my first semester in CC, would I put that under high school or CC internship/EC in the app?</p>
<p>You better have some EC's to top your grades!</p>
<p>that would be college...as soon as you graduate, you are a college student. yes, technically you'll have 3 semesters under your belt when applying (not including summer terms)....i'd advise planning out your classes...and plan out a back-up school too. i had santa clara univ as my back-up...there is a bit of difference (between ucb and scu) in the required classes to transfer, so i had to make sure i took the classes that scu wanted as well as those that ucb wanted....of course there was lots of overlap. also, be careful about your calculus choice...if you go for calc for life/social sciences (3 unit courses) instead of engineering calc (5 unit courses) you can only use the classes for haas and not for any of the other UCs....all others (besides ucb) have busn econ and not busn admin at the undergrad level (as far as i know)....if you take engin calc, you can use it at all UCs....ucb doesn't care either way- there is no benefit to taking one over the other...but be aware of this.</p>
<p>Under calculus for my school there is calc for business/social sciences and only requires college algebra as a prereq and then there's just calculus which requires precalc as a prereq. I'm guessing the latter is the one I need?</p>
<p>And yeah, I have UCLA and UCSD as my backup for biz econ and econ respectively. I already wrote down all the classes I need to finish breadth, igetc, and the prereqs for each school so now I just need to figure out what classes I'll take each semester.</p>
<p>for the summer internship i'm thinking of a law firm because although i'm a biz major i want to become a lawyer
how does that sound?</p>
<p>y don't u say u wanna study business law?
saying u wanna be a lawyer they might go psh he just wants to get a degree and move on >_></p>
<p>Sam: I'd be careful about chasing the law internship over other more business-related opportunities. When I applied to Haas, I was advised not to mention anything about my interest in law. While I did mention political internships on the work experience section of the app, I put most of my focus on bringing out my business experience. Stick to whatever it is about business that inspires you. That's what I did, and I'm sure that's part of the reason I got accepted.</p>
<p>dek... did u get accepted this fall?
i received some alumni welcome thing in my calmail =.= u got that too? u attending?</p>
<p>I want your suggestions on this, I am aa H.S. senior and will attend CC starting this summer (2 classes), I am offered a summer internship in marketing but I already have a part time job in retail. </p>
<p>It would be tough to do all three, (the internship isn't at a advertising company but rather at a art university, I know it sounds a little strange) but if you were me, what would you do?</p>
<p>Go for the marketing internship imo. Internships like that don't come very often and it will look great on your app to Haas.</p>
<p>take the marketing drop the retail, drop summer class down to one class.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Agreed. (10char)</p>
<p>and would you go for Psychology or Eng 96 (one level below Eng 1A)? both professors are equally amazing, I am more interested in psych but that fact that I didn't score to Eng 1A bothers me.</p>
<p>it totally depends on the professor
english u normally would have to do a lot more writing
psych u gotta pay attention in lectures, projects if u have then then a little studying b4 quizes and such</p>
<p>english in shorter semesters are a little tougher, then again i don't know the difficulty of that english course</p>
<p>i would suggest you take psych
writing + short time period + interning = not very nice</p>
<p>i think mattn and i agree that 2 classes in a short session with intern would do u more harm than good, don't underestimate CC classes, don't depend too much on ratemyprofessor, don't underestimate interning</p>
<p>bottom line don't underestimate anything, the best prevention is preparation, especially mentally.
surprises aren't fun</p>
<p>I totally agree with you on ratemyprofessor.com guardiangel, I sometimes find those reviews contradict each other, but for these two professors, I happened to be at a seminar when one of them was the guest speaker and the other one was highly recommended by my friend.</p>
<p>Anyhow, I am leaning more toward Psych, my counselor warned me that English course during summer can be tough, I guess I would be better off to take it during a regular semester (esp when it isn't my strongest subject). </p>
<p>I am planning my summer schedule out, I was told (by my counselor) that for every hour of lecture I should spend 2 hours studying/reviewing, how accurate would you say this is?</p>
<p>LOL
it totally depends on the class
for example my sociology class my prof lectures but his exams are not based on lectures. each midterm 6 altogether takes me about 16 hours to totally grind out the whole few chapters. so about 96 hours spent at home for that winter session
but then again for my other classes i normally don't study till like before exams 2 hours of quality studying (provided u take quality notes and pay attention in class)</p>
<p>so it really depends. lecture based classes, and professors that really test off their lectures don't require much studying/reviewing</p>
