Need help with schedule

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of California - Berkeley

<p>I'll be a freshman in the fall and I'm a prospective geology, marine science, or integrative biology major.</p>

<p>Is this a good schedule and which ones should I Phase I?</p>

<p>Chem 1A
Math 1A
EPS C82
English R1A</p>

<p>I took AP Calc AB and got a 4. (I didn't take BC, but might take Calc II at a community college over the summer). I took AP Bio and got a 5. I didn't take AP Chem or AP Lit/Lang. I did well in honors chem but don't remember much and I've always done really well in my English classes.</p>

2

<p>take math 16a.</p>

3

<p>What if I do Calc II at a community college? Also, Math 16A won’t fulfill geology requirement.</p>

4

<p>And Math 1A won’t fulfill biology requirement. So now what?</p>

5

<p>math 1a would fulfill any math requirement.</p>

<p>what do you plan on doing after with ur major?</p>

6

<p>So should I do math 1A or do you think it will be too hard for me?</p>

<p>I want to go to grad school. I’m hoping to go to Scripps Institute of Oceanography and do geosciences, oceanography, or marine biology.</p>

7

<p>Also, should I Phase I the English and Intro to Oceans since Math and Chem have a ton of spots?</p>

8

<p>Sorry, one more question… is 14 units a good amount?</p>

9

<p>14 is ok amount. it’s good… Chem has limited lab spots…so i think you should phase I that… however i even got in the 2nd week. this past fall. english fills up really quick… might be full already. oceans. im not sure.</p>

10

<p>So if I take calc II in the summer and do well, would I do Math 1B in the fall? Does math fill up fast?</p>

11

<p>you might be done with math… i dont know how geology dept factors in ap scores and cc courses.</p>

12

<p>oh. cool. i think i’ll do that then.
thanks for your help!</p>

<p>abbccc - math 1a is a superset of 16a, so where a biology department specifies 16a, you consider 1a as a fully qualified substitute. Basically, 1a = 16a + more theory and more depth. Same topics, e.g differentiation and limits, but proofs and other details added into 1a.</p>

14

<p>So let’s say that I do calc II over the summer and am done with math… what class should I take?
Physics 7A, Physics 8A, or EPS 50 (Planet Earth)
Which of those physics classes will cover me for biology and geology since I’m still undecided?</p>

15

<p>Nevermind.
It looks like 8A is the easier one, but I need 7A for geology… 8A for bio or marine science.</p>
