<p>In case anyone was curious, I called to ask when they were mailing the catalog and they said it got sent out this Wednesday. Just about the only thing that has arrived on time so far has been my bill, which somehow does not surprise me. =)</p>
<p>I haven't received my bill yet...</p>
<p>Sorry! I meant my adjusted financial aid letter.</p>
<p>I haven't gotten my bill either; my adjusted fin aid letter came a while ago, though.</p>
<p>i haven't gotten my bill yet either.</p>
<p>I did get the intro sem catalog yesterday, however.</p>
<p>No bill, but introsem catalog came Thursday...</p>
<p>Am I the only one who doesn't think they'll be taking one of the introsems freshman year? (Possibly not sophomore year either, though I'd really love to do Sophomore College)</p>
<p>what exactly is an intro sem? i'm to lazy to look it up and to stupid to remember.</p>
<p>Can anyone give us an idea of how competitive intro sems are to get in to?</p>
<p>I'm sure that some are more competitive than others. For example, all of the incoming premeds probably swamp the bio/medicine seminars, while some of the more unique liberal arts ones are not as popular.</p>
<p>Great! I only like the unique liberal arts ones. :P</p>
<p>me too, which get's me worried.</p>
<p>The one that says "no tests" is gonna be pretty popular :P</p>
<p>They look interesting, nice small classes that help us research various areas of study. It's a pity SLE class time overlaps about half of them. On the other hand maybe that's a good thing, I'm so undecided that I need my choices narrowed.</p>
<p>So if they say "no tests," what's the grading based on? Is it easy to get an A in seminars or something? Oh and what's a Credit/No Credit option class? Does that mean you get a credit for the class but not included in GPA like AP credits?</p>
<p>CR/NC means that you get automatic credit as long as you attend the class, and nothing counts toward your GPA like AP credits.</p>
<p>I would actually say the opposite of ForeverZero- the artsy ones tend to get swamped, because people looking to lighten their courseload want to take them.</p>
<p>Probably the ones that fulfill GRE requirements. There are, however, some really odd-looking ones that actually look like they'll require a lot of work (in the form of reading and papers).</p>
<p>so does the CR/NC option mean that you CAN take it for a grade if you need a grade to fulfull a GER?</p>
<p>Yes, if you want it to fulfill a GRE requirement, you have to take it for a grade.</p>
<p>Every class has its own options regarding CR/NC and letter grading. Most classes allow you to choose, but some only allow letter grading and others only allow CR/NC grading (usually seminars and attendance-related stuff like P.E.). You choose your grading option when signing up for classes online. GER classes must be taken for a letter grade.</p>
<p>If it's offered as a GER, there will be a letter grade option. Also, no tests does not mean no papers. I dread papers more than tests.</p>
