<p>Hi, i recently got accepted to GWU as an incoming freshman. I just have a few questions about whether or not i can take certain courses during freshman year.</p>
<p>1) I took Principles of Economics(equivalent to AP micro and macro economics) at Harvard summer school last summer and got an A-. Does this qualify me to take intermediate economics during my freshman year? (I don't know whether or not you can take both intermediate microecon and intermediate macroecon in one year at GWU) if so, what professor in terms of easiness of getting a good score on tests would you suggest? </p>
<p>2) GIven that I got 5 on AP calculus BC test, Would you recommend me to take multivariable calculus during my freshman year at GWU? If so, what professor would you suggest?</p>
<p>I looked up GWU website, and I could only find which AP credit can be given at GWU and could not find any info as to the course placement, so that's why I'm asking this on this forum...</p>
<p>Any input will be highly appreciated and thank you for having read this!!</p>
<p>I’m guessing this would count as dual enrollment credit, so yes, you should be fine (keep in mind that GW only allows you to transfer in 24 credits, period, through AP and college courses taken in high school). You could take intermediate Econ during your freshman year; a friend of mine did that for micro. He said it’s very calculus-based, but a lot of the class had trouble with that portion. For professors, check out Rate my Professors dot com [I wrote it that way so it wouldn’t be edited].</p>
<p>Just make sure to send your Harvard transcript in ASAP.</p>

If you’re good at math, which clearly seems to be the case here, by all means, go for it. However, the Math department isn’t the best at GW, so I’d check with RMP to be sure.</p>

<p>Generally, you take the class directly after what you got credit for. So, if you got credit for ECON 101, for example, you’d take its follow up, ECON 202.</p>
<p>Oh and regarding which math course to take, if you’re looking at above Calc 1 (below that there’s a placement exam), according to the math department site you should probably email a math department adviser.</p>
<p>Comparative politics is required for ESIA; it’s a pain in the butt. A lot of nothing said for a long period of time. I’d go with International Politics; Talmadge is a great professor for that class.</p>
<p>American History is basically a repeat of your APUSH class.</p>
