<p>Incoming freshman...Some type of bio major probably, intended MCB as of right now...</p>

<p>Set courses for fall 08: Math 1A, Chem 1A, Seminar (Waitlisted for that) [Total is 10 units, provided I get in...btw what are the chances of that?]</p>

<p>Now for the blanks...I would like to get Physics 8A in, but there's some restriction that's not letting me sign up. I found Education 190's description a bit intriguing and it satisfies a breadth, though I read in another topic there's some procedure on the first day of class...:O. Lastly, music theory could be fine too.</p>

<p>Is this alright for first sem? And what would taking Physics along with Math and Chem be like? (Didn't get to take physics in HS, b/c school wouldn't let me take two "popular" science courses at the same time...grr)</p>

<p>As a former music major, I can say that even music theory I is going to give you a serious headache (I did a year and a half) and if you're looking for an easy class just to meet a unit req., I wouldn't pick that one (unless you have some background in music theory already, or you've played an instrument for a few years, in which case some of it might be review). It's a very interesting class, though, and I really liked it. I can't advise you on the math/chem classes, sorry (I'm an English major).</p>

<p>i see..i've had some theory background alongside with piano playing, but I haven't touched base with it in a few years. I'll be sure to put that as my last resort..Thanks for the tip on that!</p>
