<p>Not many engineering majors posting.</p>
<p>incoming cse freshman, its looking like its going to be: cs 1, cs 31, chem 20a, math 32a</p>
<p>just wondering, does anyone know the difficulty of the cs 1 seminar? i'm not sure if adding it to the 3 other classes would be too much or not, but its only 1 unit and brings the total to 13 units</p>
<p>I think you should be okay with CS1. The other classes aren't hard except for CS31 depending on if you know some programming beforehand. It's very doable.</p>
<p>is cs1 like a regular class with hw and tests and stuff like that? it didnt list a date for the final for the class</p>
<p>yes! I GOT INTO 30AL AND WAITING LIST FOR 102A YES YES YES</p>

fiat lux hopefully
ethnomusicology or stats 10</p>
<p>Are you no longer majoring in history, Jason?</p>
<p>of course i am, history rocks!
yeah, so i might take a history seminar...well see how it goes...i just need a seminar and either 1c or 1b before im done with the lower divs</p>
<p>jason: stats 10 with davis, ok? do yourself a favor xD</p>
<p>i dont understand this stuff all u are writing. In high school we didnt choose anything, everything was pre planned. Can someone tell me a website which explains the college system of "choosing" Classes?</p>
<p>Umm.. my high school had us choose classes too.</p>
<p>greenvision: that's weird, i don't know many people who didn't choose their high school classes to some degree. i mean they tell you that you have to take certain classes or types of classes to graduate but to not have any choice is weird. what i used, and i'm sure everyone else used, was the class planner under academics. when you log into your myucla account it'll be on the left side of the screen. from what i gather, returning students must be able to enroll since i know freshies like myself can't enroll until orientation and classes are closing/ getting wait listed</p>
<p>Econ 11, Econ 41, Mgt 108</p>
<p>how does this sound for first quarter freshman yr:</p>
<p>engcomp 3
chem 14A
physics 19 (fiat lux)</p>
<p>if i decide to take a fiat lux, which one(s) is/are the best?</p>
<p>btw, i'm planning for english major and pre-med.</p>
<ol>
<li>also, which track is better for chem? the 14A or the 20A. for physics? 6AX or 1A? i'll go for less mathematics!</li>
<li>should i still take stats, hearing that many med schools like to see that? even if i already passed ap stats?</li>
<li>do med schools see ap scores, or do they just see whether you used the credit or not?</li>
</ol>
<p>That's only 10 units! Fiat Luxes are one-unit classes. </p>
<p>As for the Fiat Lux - it doesn't matter. It depends on what you're interested in. It's just one-unit and it's PASS/NO PASS grading. </p>
<ol>
<li>If you're premed, take the 14 series. Take the 6 series. (Look up what you need for medical school and look at your major's requirements!!!) The Math 3, Chem 14, and Physics 6 series are fine for pre-meds. </li>

<p>Biology
Life Sciences 1, 2, 3, 4. One year of coursework with lab.
Notes: LS 1-4 will prepare you for the Biological Science section of the MCAT. If you took LS 2 and 3 before Fall 98, then take two additional life science lab courses (in departments such as EEB (Ecology and Evolutionary Biology), MCD Bio, neuroscience, psychobiology, or physiological science). Many schools recommend extra upper division life science courses in addition to this basic requirement.</p>
<p>Chemistry
Life science or non-science majors: Chemistry 14A, 14B/BL, 14C/CL, 14D; plus 153A/L (biochemistry).
Physical, life or non-science majors: Chemistry 20A, 20B/L, 30A/AL, 30B/BL, 30C*; plus 153A/L (biochemistry). *Chem 30CL may not be required for applicants from the life science majors.
General and organic chemistry courses are required. Many schools include a separate requirement for or a strong recommendation to take biochemistry. The general chemistry coursework will prepare you for the Physical Science section, and the organic chemistry coursework prepares you for the Biological Science section of the MCAT.</p>
<p>Physics
Physics 6A, 6B, 6C or 6AH, 6BH, 6CH or 1A, 1B, 1C, 4AL, 4BL
One year with labs is generally required. Trigonometry-based physics can also satisfy this requirement, but UCLA only offers calculus-based courses and these are required for the various science majors. Physics prepares you for the Physical Science section of the MCAT.</p>
<p>Math
Math 3A, 3B, 3C or 31A, 31B, 32A
This is your preparation for calculus-based physics. Several schools require one year of college level math. For other schools, this requirement is strongly recommended, especially as preparation for physics. One year of math can include statistics (see below) and computer programming classes
(PIC 10A, 10B, 10C).</p>
<p>Statistics
Statistics 10, M11, M12, 13, Biostatistics or Biomath, Psychology 100A*
One quarter of statistics is required for some schools including UCLA and strongly recommended for others. *Check with individual schools for acceptability of classes offered outside of the Statistics department.</p>
<p>English
One year of college level literature and composition. Writing I and Writing II courses, select general education literature courses, and any upper division English literature or English Composition courses will satisfy this requirement. Please see the “English requirement for health professions schools” sheet for a complete list of suggested courses. These courses will prepare you for the Verbal Reasoning and Writing Sample sections of the MCAT.</p>
<p>Foreign Language
Knowledge and cultural competency in any language other than English is a valuable asset to working in a health care field. If your future plans include working in California or the southwestern states, Spanish is highly valued and somewhat expected. Ask yourself: Can I walk into a hospital room and get a patient history in another language? If the answer is no, then consider taking college level foreign language classes to brush up on your skills.</p>
<p>Other Humanities and Social Science courses are strongly recommended. The non-science GPA is an important component to your overall academic record and liberal arts education. Courses in the following can enhance your communication skills and overall understanding of the world: Anthropology, Communication Studies, Economics, any ethnic studies area (e.g. Women’s Studies, LGBT Studies, Afro-American Studies, Chicana/Chicano Studies, Near Eastern Studies), Philosophy, Political Science, Psychology, Sociology, and Speech to name a few.</p>
<p>Computer skills are strongly recommended. Many programs have incorporated computers and electronic media into their curriculum. Several programs are strongly recommending that a student owns a computer. Other programs have indicated that they will soon have the purchase of a computer as part of the requirements of their program.</p>
<p>UCLA is not responsible for coursework being accepted by recipient schools. Students should contact the individual schools directly.

<p>thats a very light load of classes...im not sure that even qualifies you as a full-time student</p>
<p>as far as what fiat lux to take...take whatver youre interested in...the fiat lux series was implemented primarily for freshmen to be exposed to various subjects (right after 9/11)
and on the uc transcript, ap scores are not shown</p>
<p>o emmeline already responded...oopps you can just ignore my post</p>
<p>How's this for a freshman?</p>

<p>I'm a Political Science major (IR) transferring junior. I transfered with IGETC. Does this mean that half my General Education is already completed? This fall semester I plan on taking one or two political science classes, Italian, and philosophy/classics/history. Is that a pretty viable schedule?</p>
