<p>I'm going to be a freshman next year majoring in CS and minoring in EE. Here's what I'm thinking of taking, please tell me if this is way over the top or typical: </p>
<p>SEMESTER 1:
Discrete Structures
Calculus III
Probability and Statistics for Computer Science
Computer Programming I
Linear Algebra </p>
<p>SEMESTER 2:
Physics For Engineers I (Calculus based)
Ordinary Differential Equations
Linear Circuit Analysis I
Linear Circuit Laboratory
Intermediate Programming</p>
<p>What kind of school do you go to where you load up on pure STEM classes? I would think you should be taking some general ed. requirements, especially the first couple years. Assuming this is an allowed schedule, however, I don’t see what math you will have left after your first year; I don’t think that’s necessarily helpful to you, because you might forget most of it by the time you need it.</p>
<p>It seems like an awfully heavy schedule for your first year. Like js said, I would add 1 or 2 gen eds in if your schedule allows it. It would seem that it should since you’re starting out in Calc 3 (Generally schools start out at Calc 1 or 2).</p>
<p>I managed to do a lot my general ed stuff through AP credits (literature,freshman writing,chemistry I&II,calculus I & II,elementary statistics)</p>
<p>I could however replace some of the maths with one of the five humanities classes I have left to do?</p>
<p>If you know you are dedicated enough to handle it, then go for it.</p>
<p>You might want to limit yourself to only 4 classes your first semester. I took five classes my first semester and making the adjustment to college workload took me a while…resulting in my lowest GPA I’ve had my whole time in college. </p>
<p>You could take 5 at first, but be willing to drop one if you think you need to.</p>
