Psych 1 or Astro C10?

<p>I'm having trouble deciding between the two.
I want to get into Haas but I'm thinking of doubling in Psych or having Econ+Psych as my backups if I don't get in.</p>

<p>Should I take Psych 1 (Psych prereq + breadth) or AstroC10 (breadth) for fall?
I want to maintain a good course load and good grades. Which is less work? (I'm going to end up taking both anyways)</p>

<p>Oh and my other classes are Econ 1, Math 1A, and Japanese 7A. </p>

<p>Thanks!!</p>

<p>astro c10 is only offered in the fall, so i would take that first. plus, filipenko, the professor that teaches it will make for a great first semester experience. psych 1 is offered every semester and getting in is pretty much guaranteed.</p>

<p>What about ESPM 50AC?</p>

<p>(Sorry, I have too many backup classes haha)</p>

<p>i hear ESPM 50AC is a very good class, and can be relatively easy if you have the right professor. but i think that class fills up really fast. lots of people take it for AC+breadth.</p>

<p>Espm 50 is pretty much full already.</p>

<p>I would go with C10. I’ve heard it’s a really good first semester class, as jb said. And if you’re thinking of doubling Econ-Psych, keep in mind that both of those are capped majors, so your chances of getting into one of those is limited, let alone both.</p>

<p>Yeah ESPM 50AC is packed. I would take Astro C10, unless psych is a breeze for you cuz you already took it in HS.</p>

<p>Astro C10 is 1 or 2 (I forgot) midterms and a final, multiple choice. a few quizzes in discussion, 3-5 labs, and reading questions.</p>

<p>And depending on how academically awesome you are, you can decide to take it P/NP, whereas you shouldn’t take Psych 1 P/NP because it’s a prerequisite.</p>

<p>Thanks guys :slight_smile:
I think I’m actually going to stick with my original schedule (Math1A, Anthro2AC, Japanese 7A, and Econ 1). I was going to drop Anthro but Astro has time conflicts with my other classes lol. I’m hoping to take it fall of my sophomore year though :)</p>
