<p>Hi guys. I'm going to be a SEAS student this fall, and I was worrying a little about my course schedule. I know that SEAS students are required to take 5 classes each semester, but there are 9 columns of courses to take (physics, chem, english, required nontech, required tech, compsci, phys ed, and gateway)!! I guess that leaves us freshpeople to plan out our own schedules by picking five classes, right?
For a prospective ORFE or CS major, how does this look:
1. physics (level 1, 1401, 1402)
2. chemistry (level 1, 1403)
3. calculus (level 3, V1101)
4. english comp (c1010) ---> (second semester, this is gateway lab)
5. econ (W1105) ----> (second semester, this is computer science)
^ Does this seem like a brutal schedule? Too easy?</p>
<p>this is pretty much the easiest schedule a SEAS freshman can take. engineering students generally take 5 or 6 courses their first semester.</p>
<p>it is not brutal at all, pretty standard for first year students in engineering.</p>
<p>okay thank you.
also, would a 3.3-2.5 GPA from freshman/sophomore year cut it for financial engineering?? or would i need a 3.6+ to be competitive?</p>
