<p>Hello Im currently a senior in highschool. My dad called UCSD academic advising about my classes and the lady there said that they've already created my schedule for all four years. My dad, though, wants to go and see my schedule to see if there are any classes I should potentially switch. Is there any point in this?????? Thanks.</p>
<p>You don’t HAVE to follow the 4 year plans they set up for you. Those are just guidelines to help you graduate on time. This is college, you are paying tuition, you choose what classes you take. No one holds your hand to help you graduate or sign up for classes, if that makes sense.</p>
<p>Thanks ucsandiego! But what I’m saying is that is there any point of going now to visit the adviser? I feel like I have no clue what classes I should take and should wait until I actually start going to school. Or would this be beneficial?</p>
<p>If you feel you need guidance as to what particular path you should take for your major, by </p>
<p>all means visit an adviser. It’s generally recommended to visit them at sometime to check if </p>
<p>everything is working towards your final goal of graduating. As for figuring out what classes </p>
<p>to take your first year, the classes lower division classes are pretty general and interwoven with many </p>
<p>majors depending on what you’re studying. Their recommendation is usually quite specific </p>
<p>to your current stats coming in from high school (for your first fall quarter), and from their </p>
<p>you just build on that initial recommendation since many of your classes are part of a </p>
<p>series that’s followed by another. So before visiting an adviser, wait for this base </p>
<p>recomendation to come in August (for your fall quarter) and if you still feel confused, then </p>
<p>go talk to an adviser (which would be sometime during the actual quarter).</p>
<p>Haha, my bad. What’s your major and what college? Depending on these factors the counselors will likely recommend you take chem, math, your college’s writing program, and a GE. Most freshmen across the science/math/eng majors will take these classes first quarter. It’s pretty much going to be lower division GEs your first few quarters.</p>
