<p>As far as I know incoming freshmen register for classes during orientation. I believe orientations run from June to August. Does attending an earlier orientation mean that there is a higher chance of getting the classes you want?</p>
<p>I just sent in my deposit. When do I get to apply for housing?</p>
<p>I'm hoping to buy an Apple computer for college but the Ross School of Business recommends Windows. Do any of you know kids who use macs in the b-school? Do they have compatibility issues?</p>
<p>Registering for an earlier orientation date does help you with getting classes you want. Some departments divide the seats, so that students from later orientation dates have equal chances of getting into those classes. As for housing, last year, students could start applying for housing on April 1st. You should be able to register a week from now.</p>
<p>I wont get my scores from my IB exams until late July. I was hoping to get credit for the HL Math exam. How is that going to work out for class selection assuming I go for orientation early?</p>
<p>I am not too sure about that, but, if you talk to your advisor about it, I am sure he or she can give you an override and let you register for that class.</p>
<p>You just schedule your classes assuming you'll get credit from the IB exam. If you end up not passing the IB exam, you just switch your schedule a lower course once you find out.</p>
<p>You'll meet an adviser probably on the second day of orientation. I'd try and get as much stuff figured out before you get to orientation, because you can't always count on the advisers being knowledgeable/helpful. Take some time and read the LSA course bulletin (available online at College</a> of Literature, Science, and the Arts , I don't know if they still hand out hard copies at orientation anymore), specifically sections III (graduation requirements), IV (general academic policies), and VI (information on specific departments). You can also go to the LSA course guide so you'll have time to browse the full range of electives/classes/topics courses being offered, instead of trying to throw something together in a day or two that you'll mostly spend socializing. I went into orientation knowing 14 credits of my schedule and what time everything would be (except for Great Books discussion, which was flexible). All my adviser had to do was tell me that I wouldn't have a problem doing 18 credits, so I found a 4 credit course that met both Social Science and Race and Ethnicity requirements.</p>
