Need advice for Undergrad

<p>Alright well I'm not doing so well for my freshman year apparently. I thought it was mainly first quarter, but apparently this quarter I am doing even worse.</p>

<p>First quarter I got a 2.2 in Psych 101, 3.1 in CSE 142, and 3.3 in Math 125. I got a 3.5 in an Early Fall Start class so my average GPA turned out to be around a 3.0.</p>

<p>This quarter I am taking CSE 143, MUSIC 116, and Math 126. I did really poorly on all my midterms somehow and I am scared because I don't know if I have what it takes to get into the majors I want (most likely CSE/Informatics). I am pretty sure I can still pull off maybe a 3.0-3.3 but thats the best case scenario. </p>

<p>I am also considering making MUSIC a S/NS option because apparently this midterm pretty much determined half of my grade and it didn't work out. Does anyone know how? And how will this affect admissions?</p>

<p>Thanks for any help you can give me.</p>

<p>You need a much higher GPA for CSE</p>

<p>A little surprised that you got a 2.2 in Psych but at least you did better in your pre-req classes. For Music 116 I heard that it’s a tough class. I guess it’s okay if you make it S/NS but just make sure you get a S. Next time take Music 185, which is a much easier 2 credit VLPA class. It is one class a week and if you get 58/70 in that class and attend 4 concerts at Meany Hall you get a 4.0.</p>

<p>Also to make it S/NS option just go to your registration page and change it to S/NS. I think there is a $20 fee too.</p>

<p>Thanks a lot for the advice everyone. Also if anyone has advice about the Informatics major, that’d be appreciated.</p>

<p>I am also considered HCDE (Human Cenetered Design Engineering) but I don’t know too much about it.</p>

<p>If anyone has tips for applying for these majors, I would appreciate it!</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>
