<p>3 day is not important to do. However, I highly recommend it.</p>
<p>freshman summer start program is different than the freshman summer bridge program ... but thanks anyway i already got my answer.</p>
<p>Do you think it'd hinder me at all for not taking math my senior year?
(The AP Cal teacher SUCKS @$$!) ...I'd have to take math anywho @ uci still right? When exactly in college can you choose not to take math?</p>
<p>Hi Jason you have been very helpful to me so far. Are you on summer break already because you seem to spend a lot of time on CC.
Anyways here a couple of question for you.
1) you know when you borrow loan you have to sign a promissory note right? They required you to have a pin number. Is this the same number that goes on your FAFSA or is it a different one?
2) If my major is bio and I want to do environmental science is that another different major or should I just stay with bio and can still take environ. classes?</p>
<p>kaii:</p>
<p>If your major requires math, then you must take it. Some majors need it to be done ASAP and some need it to be done during junior year. It all depends. Not taking calc in high school will set you behind a bit if you are taking calc 1 during first quarter. Most students will already know the material so it would be a disadvantage for you.</p>
<p>sweetdream:</p>
<p>My quarter ends within 3 weeks haha. I've integrated answering questions on CC into my daily routine.</p>
<p>1) I've never experienced loans so I can't really answer your question there. You might want to ask Kadya. </p>
<p>2) As a bio major, you will have more classes than others. However I'm very sure you can fit in environmental sciences into your schedule. Environmental sciences is a different field from bio. You can take a few classes for fun or for a minor (if available) or you can just switch your major. Do what you want the most. Don't push yourself into a major you don't want. Remember that and you'll be happier haha.</p>
<p>As a crim major, you think i'd need it?</p>
<p>kaii:</p>
<p>You do not need calculus at all.</p>

<p>YESSSSS!!!</p>
<p>I probably have a 3.0-3.1 gpa right now and I'm a junior going to be a senior next year, do you think I should not even consider applying to UCI?</p>
<p>kensterdotnet:</p>
<p>A 3.0 is the minimum GPA to apply. You might as well apply if you want to see your chances. Maybe other things will outweigh the bad GPA. Make sure you give the application all you've got. Don't leave anything out. Also, apply for other schools too like UCSC and UCR.</p>
<p>Hi. I'm a junior interested in U of Irvine. I know that the percentage for out of state students is only 3 %; is it really low because there are not many out of state applicants or is it just highly competitive for out of staters? Also, my GPA is about 3.6-3.7 (uc gpa-i think i calculated it right). Do you think it is too low for an out of state applicant? (despite the SAT scores)</p>
<p>xbxlxuxexaxox:</p>
<p>There are a lot of out of state applicants, but California applicants overrule them by a lot. The standards for out of state (oos) students are a little higher than California students. 3.6-3.7 is a decent GPA, but you will need a lot more to back that up. GPA isn't everything remember?? Anyway, I strongly encourage you to apply for UC Irvine.</p>
<p>can we use a graphing calculator for the chem and precalculus placement test or does it have to be the scientific ones without hte graphing part</p>
<p>buddy:</p>
<p>When I took the chemistry placement test, I think I had a graphing calculator with me. I didn't end up using it though. As for the precalc exam, I'm not sure since I didn't take it. I do know you can bring a calculator Bring a graphing calc and a non graphing calc for both tests just in case.</p>
<p>jas0n:
I believe you said you are a cse major? Did you take the Physics placement exam? The PreCalc exam? I am taking calc AB AP right now so I don't know why I should bother with PreCalc. I'm also taking Physics B AP right now. Is Physics 7A similar to Physics B AP?</p>
<p>ND6"</p>
<p>I'm an electrical engineering major. I didn't take either placement exams. If you choose to take the physics placement exam, you can exempt yoruself from Physics 7A. If you do not pass the AP calc exam, then you must take the placement exam that will allow you to place into the first level of calculus. AP physics B is not transferrable to UCI. Passign the test can only get you elective credits. You will have to still take Physics 7A unless you pass the placement exam. Here's a chart for transferrable AP exams.</p>
<p>Hi jason, </p>
<p>i am currently enrolled for mechanical engineering. But i am really considering electrical engineering instead. </p>
<p>how would enrolling for classes work? shud i enroll for the classes now? or shud i wait till i change my major? </p>
<p>also, how do we find out what classes i must enroll in and how do i enroll for them? </p>
<p>are there any professors or classes you suggest i shud take? (if there is any choice given) </p>
<p>thanks!</p>

<p>As an ME major, you will basically be almost the same freshman courses (math, physics, and chem -- EE majors only take 1 quarter of chem while ME majors take two). To be honest, you probably will not know whether you will like to do ME or EE until you go through sophomore year. Freshman year is all about pre-reqs. </p>
<p>Let me help you get started. Feel free to continue asking me questions, but start by reading a few of these links:</p>
<p>The following is a sample schedule for EEs. Check it out.</p>
<p>Next is a sample schedule for MEs.</p>
<p>EECS 10 is introduction to computational methods (basically you learn to program in C) while MAE 10 is programming in fortran. I'm sure you know which complies with which major. Take the EECS 10 if you feel like you will be majoring in EE and MAE 10 for ME. You have the ability to enroll in any of the classes I beleive (EECS and MAE are restricted to engineering majors) so go ahead and enroll in the path you want to take. Do not feel limited to the sample programs though. Mix it around to the way you like. You might want to take chem first quarter with the bio majors. It's your choice. </p>
<p>As for professors I recommend, I can't say. The professor schedules aren't out yet. You can check by searching here:</p>
<p><a href="http://websoc.reg.uci.edu/perl/WebSoc%5B/url%5D">http://websoc.reg.uci.edu/perl/WebSoc</a></p>
<p>When the professor names do come out. Check ratemyprofessor.com and feel free to ask me which is best.</p>
<p>is the chemistry placement test hard? how high does your score need to be to be placed into honors chem?</p>
<p>eonxblue:</p>
<p>The chemistry test is easy. You only need to "pass" which is basically a 70%+.</p>
<p>What it covers is exactly stated on the website. Study those topics and you'll pass. </p>
