How does this schedule look?

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of California - Berkeley

<p>Background info:
- My major is Electrical Engineering & Computer Science
- I'm a Spring Admit attending FPF (maximum of 4 courses)
- I got a 4 last year on the English Language AP exam
- 5 on Calc AB last year, not as confident I'll get a 5 this year though</p>

<p>I can't start on any EECS courses because FPF doesn't offer them, so I figure I'll get the second half of my English requirement out of the way with English R1B (assuming I get placed into that, which I should, right?)</p>

<p>For Math my options are basically 1B or nothing at all if I get a 5 on the Calc BC AP exam this year, but even if I do get a 5 I think it might be beneficial to take it at Berkeley before progressing in Math. Would this be a good idea?</p>

<p>Other than that I'll just be taking breadth courses, and none of them really pertain to EECS so I figure I'll go with Music 27 because I'm interested in music and History 7B to get the American History requirement out of the way. Also, does History 7B count for American Cultures and American History? I'm not exactly sure how that works.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance, I'm pretty much set on these choices but I just want to be sure I'm not making a bad decision for whatever reason or missing out on a course that might be more beneficial in the future.</p>

<p>EDIT:
One more thing, any recommendations on which teachers I should try for or how I should (try to) make my schedule?</p>

<p>No good reason to take Math 1B if you get a 5 on the BC exam. Just no point to it. Buy the Math 53 textbook and work through it ahead of time if you’re worried about that. The course is actually available online webcast.berkeley.edu last semester.</p>

<p>Well as I said I’m not too confident I’ll be getting a 5 this year, so I can’t really count on that. If I do end up getting a 5 on the exam would it be possible to later drop Math 1B and choose an extra Breadth course?</p>

<p>Well, let me tell you, if you get less than a 5 on the BC exam, you’d better plan on studying hard for 1B, because it is A LOT harder than the BC exam, in terms of grading and the depth of material covered.</p>
