<p>ooh wow! so i m not crazy for having my freshman classes planned out (since i m a non-science major premed, i have to get my thing together right away!)</p>
<p>i’m thinking</p>
<p>1st semester:</p>
<ol>
<li>Fundamentals of Neuroscience</li>
<li>Writing Seminar</li>
<li>Calculus 101</li>
<li>Classical Roots of Western Literature or Freshman seminar, if I get in to the one I reall want. </li>
</ol>
<p>all of the above classes, besides neuroscience, enroll <30 for lecture, which is good i hope.</p>
<p>second semester i m thinking</p>
<p>1.Calculus 102
2. Intellectual History
3. Molecular Biology 214
4. French II
5. Intro to creative writing (if i get in haha…wish me luck :)) </p>
<p>I have a question—</p>
<p>do PDF courses event “count.” I know the whole purpose is to get you to take classes you wouldnt normally consider for fear of the grade, but how much leeway do you really get?</p>
<p>Try to get Florent Masse for French II if he teaches it in spring.
My daughter used pdf for distribution reqs. in areas she didn’t feel much affinity for</p>
<p>people tend to use PDFs to take classes that they are interested in during semesters when they are really really busy (ie as a fifth class, as a senior). It’s quite useful.</p>
<p>also I think calc 103 is the normal intro calc (similar to calc AB).</p>
<p>Also re the prince, the time commitment starts out relatively small- an article a week, or one night a week, and grows from there. As you get more responsibility you are there for more hours, until the editors spend most of their second half of junior year and first half of senior year in the newsroom. But it’s a lot of fun-- and lots of people around so it’s time well spent.</p>
