<p>which one of the classes above should i phase 1?</p>
<p>Econ 1: 4 units
Math 54: 4 units
CS 61A: 4 units
IB 35AC: 3 units</p>
<p>In case you aren’t already aware, you can Phase 1 10.5 units. This means that, from this list, you can Phase 1 2 classes. Given that Econ 1 is almost full (presumably because Olney, one of the better Econ 1 professors, is teaching it in the fall), I’d phase 1 that. I’ve heard that you can get away with signing up for CS 61A in Phase 2, and there are 2 huge lectures for Math 54, so I’d Phase 2 that too. That leaves you with:</p>
<p>Phase 1:
- IB 35AC
- Econ 1</p>
<p>Phase 2:
- Math 54
- CS 61A</p>
<p>Given that, in this set-up, you are only signing up for 7 units in Phase 1 (and thus are 3 units short of the maximum number), you should consider finding a 3-unit class that you’d like to take (as a breadth, major requirement, etc.) in case either Math 54 or CS 61A don’t work out in Phase 2. (You could always drop that 3-unit class if those Phase 2 classes did work out.) You can also sign up for a P.E. class (which is one-half of a unit) in Phase 1 if you are interested in that.</p>
<p>Definitely Phase II Math 54 or CS 61A.</p>
<p>You might not get into the discussion sections you want, but you will be enrolled in the class one way or another…</p>
<p>phase 1 54 isntead of IB35AC</p>
<p>Are you considering Math H54 (the honors version)? Historically, the honors versions of math courses tend to be slower to fill up.</p>
<p>Don’t Phase 1 Math 54. Even if it fills up, math classes always add more sections and accommodate everyone. It will be stressful, but it will be fine in the end. I Phase 2’d Math 53 and 54 as a freshman and had no trouble getting in.</p>
<p>I agree with basketballkid124, Phase 1 Econ 1 and IB 35AC.</p>
<p>since i can take ib35ac anytime i want, should i just phase 1 econ1 and cs61a instead?</p>
<p>The downside to signing up for Econ 1 and CS 61A in Phase 1 is that you are unable to add an additional 3-unit class if you choose to do so. Also, given that it is possible to get into CS 61A from Phase 2 and that you do want to take IB 35AC too, it’d make sense to take advantage of the fact that you CAN phase 2 CS 61A, which allows you the flexibility in this semester to Phase 1 interesting breadth/AC class that you find interesting like IB 35AC.</p>
<p>another question: should i take math54, cs61a, econ1, and a seminar/decal to adjust to college life first? and save the ib35ac for later?</p>
