How to get into Physics 8A

<p>All the labs are full and it says this course does not use a waitlist system...
well then, how do we get into physics 8a?</p>

<p>sign up for it in phase I in the future or wait for people to drop.</p>

<p>help.........(bump).....</p>

<p>frequently check after phase 2 end, I was able to add in physic 8b last sem because some ppl drop it.</p>

<p>how do i keep checking? i have limited entries into telebears....is there like a head gsi or something?</p>

<p>Have a script constantly check for you and refresh your telebears window (I believe you time out with 10 minutes of inactivity?); that's how my roommate did it for 7A anyways.</p>

<p>If I recall correctly, you (OP) are a premed. You do not need to take Physics 8A next semester.</p>

<p>Taking 8A as a freshman is generally thought of as way to early for premeds.
The recommended physics premed path is 8A sophomore spring, 8B junior fall.</p>

<p>iVinshe, im no computer pro to write a script...if you can guide me as to how to do that then thatll be great...but any other non-tech suggestion?</p>

<p>and leftist, thanks for remembering...the thing is that chem 3al is full and my game plan is really messed up so thats why im trying to enroll in phys 8a</p>

<p>yea i managed to get into bio 1b, but my goal is to take two pre-med courses at the same time and me getting into phys 8a is very necessary and i really hope i get in
suggestions on how i can do this are very welcome :]</p>

<p>well. you are taking math 1b right?</p>

<p>bio 1b, math 1b. Two premed courses.</p>

<p>nah i need two pre-med science courses
so is there any head gsi i can write an e-mail to?</p>

<p>here is probably your best bet</p>

<p>Spring 09
Chem 3A (3 units)
Biology 1B (4 units)
Math 1B (4 units)
something else (3-5 units)</p>

<p>Summer 09
Chem 3AL (2 units)
Physics 8A (4 units) or Bio 1A/L (5 units)*</p>

<p>*Contact the Bio 1A/L staff before you try registering for 1A/L with 3AL.
1A/L requires 3A, not sure if it requires 3AL</p>

<p>too all on UCB CC: if someone is planning on dropping phys 8a, please let me know so i can get your spot!! much appreciated</p>

<p>As an 8A GSI, let me tell you that there is nothing the head GSI or anyone else can do for you. Unfortunately the only way to get into the course is enrollment on Telebears. Yeah, it sucks, but that's how it goes.</p>

<p>aww come on shoyer show some CC love and tryta get me in im seriously so desperate for it as it will really screw up my game plan otherwise...please man ill hella appreciate it</p>

<p>santabanta, isn't this pretty clear?</p>

<p>Your "game plan"? Seriously? You have to leave space in your schedule for unforeseen circumstances, i.e. telebears f****** up.
Plus, budget cuts and the huge amount of people trying to take the class are just one part of a public school - too bad, you gotta live with it.</p>
