<p>my current schedule on just the facts for this fall has four classes listed. HR 260, CB 100, OB 122, and ST 212. this leaves me with 13 credits for the fall semester. is my fifth class supposed to be an elective i choose when i get to school in a couple days or is it understood an incoming transfer is only going to be taking a 4 class first semester?</p>
<p>you can add another elective, those are just some of the required courses. Some students take 5 classes, the rest take 4.</p>
<p>would you recommend it or is it easier to just add an easier gen elective later on and take 6 classes?</p>
<p>yeah i have the exact same schedule (same exact classes). I thought it was weird that they didn't put me in Econ. Now I'm only taking 13 credits which seems to little. Gomestar, would you recommend that I add on econ this term or just wait until spring?</p>
<p>If by econ you meant labor econ, you should save that until the spring to spread out your work load. If you really want something to take I would look at taking a class in one of those distributions that you have not already filled yet. Alot of those are really easy and won't require you to study labor issues 24-7.</p>
<p>starmel has good advice here. </p>
<p>Take labor econ in the spring. </p>
<p>There's nothing wrong with taking only 13 credits, it's usually a bit of an adjustment for ILR transfers and most students take around 13-14 first semester anyways. </p>
<p>starmel said it before, but good classes to add are stuff for the distribution requirements - cultural perspectives, western civ, and so forth. These are usually pretty easy classes and you can choose from a nice list which ones to take.</p>
<p>Transfers have to take these types of electives to go to Cornell so many of them are filled up already...</p>
<p>No I'm talking about regular Econ 101 (macro and micro). I didn't take either of them at my old school before I transferred. So should I add it into my schedule for this semester?</p>
<p>i'd add the intro econ classes so you can free up your schedule when your a junior and senior</p>
<p>I only want to take 4 classes the first semester at cornell though. I'm currently signed up for ILRHR, ILROB, ILRCB, ILRST. So would it be better to drop STAT this semester and add in econ or do STAT now and take econ in the spring? Thanks.</p>
<p>do stats now</p>
<p>I agree, you should take stats now. But you also need to add micro econ or you are going to be really behind in taking labor econ and eventually your econ policy elective. If you want to take 4, go talk to the registrar and see if she will let you take cb or hr next semester (you won't be able to change that online). That seems reasonable since you have to take both econs then labor econ in a sequence.</p>
<p>stats is really easy, do it now</p>
<p>is HR260 hard?</p>
<p>HR 260 was probably the easiest class that I have taken so far in ILR.</p>
<p>HR is easy, mostly common sense stuff.</p>
<p>awesome, thanks</p>
<p>i don't know what to do. would my advisor be able to help me out with this and set me up with a good recommended schedule?</p>
<p>yeah, I asked my advisor my first semester at Cornell and she made me a tentative schedule</p>
