<p>Well, in order to get where I want to be after sophomore year, I'm taking a ridiculously difficult sophomore schedule. However, it's necessary, so nothing can really be done unfortunately.</p>
<p>Am I going to completely fail out of school with a schedule this tough though?</p>
<p>For the record, I just finished my first year with a 3.94 GPA, though the classes I took weren't nearly as hard. I didn't have an easy schedule last year, but it's not at this caliber. Here it is:</p>
<p>Fall 2009:
Math 11 - Intro to discrete structures
Math 10A - Multivariable calculus
CS 012 - C++ programming
Physics 40A - Calculus based physics</p>
<p>Winter 2009-2010:
Math 10B - Multivariable calculus
CS 014 - Intro to data structures/algorithms
CS 061 - Machine organization and assembly language
Physics 40B - Calculus based physics</p>
<p>Spring 2010:
Math 46 - Differential equations
Math 113: Applied linear algebra
Physics 40C: Calculus based physics
CS 120A - Logic Design</p>
<p>IS THIS FRICKING POSSIBLE? I won't settle for any GPA less than 3.8, so I'm prepared to study a lot......but.....thoughts?</p>
<p>as far as I’m concerned physics spells death</p>
<p>but then again… The AP class wasn’t that bad…</p>
<p>The degree of engineering stuff in that schedule just looks ugly to me… I’m a chem major here</p>
<p>Well I’m actually a computer science major, but it’s all pretty similar to engineering classes yeah</p>
<p>And man I didn’t even take ap physics in high school, I’m gonna be screwed haha</p>
<p>Holy crap those classes are mind boggling…this is why I love being a Political Science.Only math class we have to take is either a class in statistics or a class called Intro to Computing.For science i’ll probably take like geology or something haha.</p>
<p>wow good luck. I really liked physics I enjoyed it in high school . Though my school didn’t offer AP Physics. My teacher was able to apply it to every day stuff so he made it interesting</p>
<p>Well, I’m both excited for and scared of physics haha</p>
<p>just remember newtons law,hooke’s law, the acceleration of a freefall object 9.8 meters per second. If you really want hell try doing truss calculations with out a pc program</p>
<p>I would advise you offset yourself with math10 or phys40 for later… math10 you can do next summer over both sessions. But im pretty sure you dont like that idea huh? but yeah, best bet is to take math10 over next summer, because what you have will really ware you out… like really ware you out… plus we all need social time to socially develop in college along with develop our minds (referring to paraprofessional and of sort social development of course, im sure you already know how to have a good friday night 
)</p>
<p>Other than that, hit me up study buddy!! im taking math10 n phys40 too in the fall!</p>
<p>Ah I’m really not down for summer sessions. Unfortunately this schedule is a must :(</p>
<p>The way I see it, last year I got away with an hour of studying a day just about, and this schedule is like 3 times as hard, so I guess 3 hours of studying will be a must? I hope I’m not just being ■■■■■■■■.</p>
<p>men that really sucks just wish u the best of luck and hope you keep the grades up</p>
<p>Thanks man! </p>
<p>Ya know what, since I’m taking this schedule no matter what, I’d rather read some inspiring posts than posts telling me it’s gonna be insanely difficult, haha. Has anyone been through a schedule of similar caliber? Were you successful? Greater for the experience?</p>
<p>Nope…</p>
<p>I met some guy who signed up for what he called a “death schedule” though,
four science classes</p>
<p>kinda
Ap Chem C/C
Physics c/B
AP Lit C/B
POE( first year college engineering) C/C
Ap Govt B/B
Pre Cal F Stats A</p>
<p>hmm, inspiring ay?
im taking 3 sci classes with lab next quarter, which equals to a total of 10 hours of lab a week. plus multivariable calculus.
We got this dude!! dean’s list, here we come again!! watch out! hahhaha</p>
<p>ugh shat man
physics is soooooo hard lolll
i got Bs both sem but i didn’t learn JACK
we just got a lot of hw that you can kinda bs and extremely generous test corrections hehe…</p>
<p>Jaesango: Do you think had you studied regularly that you’d have gotten an A? Because I’m prepared to study! </p>
<p>And I’m glad to know that your schedule might just be harder than mine Mehedi, very inspiring haha</p>
<p>Oh, my…God-I-can’t-believe-you! It looks like you’re going to have to try a semester of that before you’ll really know the answer. To deep fry your brain in discrete math and physics is a little insane, and I can’t understand the people that try, and much less the people that can handle it. I’ve known two kids that have taken such courseloads, but they were literally registered Mensas or IQ rank Geniuses. Ridiculous. And then, my friend (also possessing a nerd brain soaked in genius fluid), who can handle the math but not the courses…well, let me put it this way: after four hours straight doing discrete math one day, he was so far out there that you couldn’t carry a conversation with him as he couldn’t speak in plain English. </p>
<p>I’m sure you’ll be just fine.</p>
<p>Oh, and…watching you guys handle this stuff is inspiring, to say the least. I know you can do it, if you can handle the meat grinder. People that get PhD’s in discrete mathematics are SO AWESOME.</p>
<p>You know, I actually didn’t realize that discrete math was crazy hard… it is? damn haha</p>
<p>I’m sure at the basic level it isn’t that bad, but when you get to the point of hypothetical hypotheticalness and PhD work, yeah. Math is a whole different language, which means a whole different mindset/way of thinking, and dreaming in Math.</p>
<p>Actually, now that I think about it, you’ll have about 10 times the difficulty with the other courses. My friends/relations/etc I referred to are doing very high level math, but Discrete Math at the HS level and entry course level is like AP Stat: you know the material and you’ll do well, and pretty much all 10(0) level Discrete Math courses use the same problem sets. So yeah, you probably won’t have too much difficulty/insanity associated with it yet, but we’ll see!</p>
