<p>^If it’s the green one “Studying Engineering” by Landis, I’ll sell it to you for $20.<br>
Anyone taking Phys 4B, Chem 50, Math 280 or Engineering 40 this spring?
I looked at my schedule and I could fit all four in 2 days (9:50 AM - 10:00 PM). Which would leave me some time to be able to work part time. Has anyone ever compacted all their classes like this? How was it? Death?</p>
<p>@chihigh Regarding your scheduling. For the past 2 years at Mt. Sac I have scheduled my classes in that manner–two days a week. The reason being is that I worked part-time as well. It’s definitely doable, but with the intensity of the classes you have selected, I would advise you not to work more than 20 hours in order to preserve your sanity.</p>
<p>haha wow HEY STEVE.
I looked up ICC secretary on google and saw my name on this thread…
this is very smart! not to mention uber helpful. i wish I had this when I was entering SAC. </p>
<p>and futurebruin2011 apparently knows me, I wonder who that is…</p>
<p>hope everything’s going dandy at *** for you 
(idk if you wanted it to be disclosed here aha)</p>
<p>I have a couple of questions for the honor program:
1)Does anyone know the pros and cons for being in it?
2)What exactly do I need to get in it? (other than the GPA)
3)Do I have enough time to apply before Jan. 28?
4)Is the honor program any different from the regular classes?</p>
<p>Please and Thanks!! :)</p>

<p>Okay… crap after looking at assist.org i realized that i won’t be able to finish all the prereqs in a 2 year span… even if i did, that’s way over 60 units. anyone else notice this?</p>
<p>^ of course its really hard to transfer out in 2 years now…I still have another two years to go cause I didn’t start any of my major pre-reqs cause I couldnt get the classes at all.</p>
<p>@vanquish - some majors at some UCs do NOT require you to finish all your major pre-reqs or all your IGETC requirements. but if your major is impacted it would help your application greatly if you finished both</p>
<p>@Vanquish…LA and Berkeley are the only two that require you to finish. The other UCs are more lenient.</p>
<p>@Dainese
It doesnt really matter about the professor… I just want my honors course T_<em>T and my major’s prereq course <em>sigh</em>
I heard because of budget cuts, there’s going to be a 10% cut on class (whatever that means o</em>o;
& there’s been a few million $$$ (six I think?) cut from the school itself… I talked to one of the honors counselors and she told me that it’s definitely going to get tougher in the coming semesters D’: !! AAAUUGH WE DO NOT NEED ALL THIS CRAP HAPPENING RIGHT NOW LOL ):
& yup yup, of course, with the budget cuts, UCs & CSUs are definitely going to be even harder to get into… <em>sobs</em></p>
<p>So, has everyone registered/gotten their classes?</p>
<p>tomorrow! finally.</p>
<p>I managed to get 13 units worth of classes. They aren’t exactly the ones I was hoping for, but if I stick with them then I’d atleast be done with the Arts and Humanities+ Social Sciences portions of the IGETC. I also got on the waitlists for the Physics and Chem classes I wanted, so I’m hoping those move along smoothly. I’m just kinda hoping a spot opens up for a Pre-Cal waitlist. I’m taking Trig now and I don’t want to resort to taking another math class during the next intersession…</p>
<p>whoever took the last spot on the teacher that I want for calc.</p>
<p>┌∩┐(ಠ_ಠ)┌∩┐</p>
<p>^ Hahahaha</p>
<p>How tough is physics 4a and 4b i really want to know, and also is frank tran a really tough teacher for math 180? I am really worried please help!!!</p>
<p>Ftran is cool and not that hard.</p>
<p>so as long as i study is it pretty easy to pull an A in his class? also do you know anything about the physics classes?</p>
<p>His A is easy to get if you do all the work and are decent at math.</p>
<p>No clue on the physics classes, taking 4A myself in Spring</p>
<p>oh sweet dude haha thanks alot and good luck in physics :)</p>
