Questions from a potential Bruin freshmen

<p>Plazas are not always private bath... but yeah they are the best. A perfect balance between suites (quiet, spacious, antisocial) and residence halls (noisy, no privacy, social).</p>

<p>Oh yeah I forgot about the Rieber plazas... shared bath in that case (where two adjacent rooms share). </p>

<p>-Everyone's favorite DeNeve-izen</p>

<p>Not only Rieber, b ut also parts of Summit and Sunset, denevizen</p>

<p>I'm doing EE. </p>

<p>"Chemistry and Biochemistry 20A; Computer Science 31, 32; Electrical Engineering 1, 2, 3, 10, M16 (or Computer Science M51A); Mathematics 31A, 31B, 32A, 32B, 33A, 33B; Physics 1A, 1B, 4AL, 4BL."</p>

<p>So looks like I have two high demand classes. Is this enough to to warrant going to an early orientation?</p>

<p>Yeah I mentioned that I am also doing EE, and wowx brought up a good question. What are some other high demand classes for a first quarter freshmen doing EE? I'm going to try my best to sign up for classes first, but I just want some clue as to what I should make my first priorities.</p>

<p>Go to the earliest session you can. Barring scheduling conflicts, I don't see why else you would want to go to a late orientation.</p>

<p>if all else fails you can just spend your first quarter on GEs. go here: <a href="http://www.registrar.ucla.edu/GE/%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.registrar.ucla.edu/GE/&lt;/a> and the GE reqs for every school are listed. you can choose from a whole ton of classes to satisfy them, so it's a good backup if your major requirements are already filled up.
however, this should be a plan B, so try to go to an early orientation if you can ;)</p>

<p>earlier orientations are nice, first pick at classes. unless you do FSP, which I think designates a certain orientation.</p>

<p>for EE first quarter, pick a few of the following:
chem 20a (unless you petition out of it) - high demand in fall, low demand in winter
math whatever - ?? classes with good professors will go fast
comp sci 31 - I dunno about fall, but it was overenrolled in winter
eng comp 3 (unless you pass out of it) - high demand fall/winter
physics 1a - low demand fall quarter, high demand winter quarter</p>

<p>the suggested four-year plan is at the end of HSSEAS</a> announcement</p>

<p>I'm thinking of picking-</p>

<p>Chem 20a - I got a 5 on AP chem but apparently it doesn't help me at all credits-wise
Math 32A - Am I allowed to skip 31B? I'm taking Calculus B/C right now.
Physics 1A - Low demand is good.
Comp Sci 31 - Apparently passing the Comp Sci AB AP test doesn't help either.</p>

<p>Question about Eng Comp 3 - Is it offered in the summer by any chance?</p>

<p>physics 1a - take with luca bertello. that man is my hero. and he's great to listen to and look at. :) i love him. the other day, he was like why are you so sad? and he gave me a hug. anyways, you dont have to sign up until the last minute.</p>

<p>chem 20a : i didn't even go to class (except for the 2 midterms and the final) and i got an a. everyone loves A's. get scerri (I TEACH LOGIC MOTHER****ER)</p>

<p>try to get english. haha you will be competing with me (i dropped it 1st quarter, and it's been full since)</p>

<p>also, my friend has a hookah in his room. they're apparently very common</p>

<p>.</p>

<p>Btw, where is it required that you have to take Eng Comp 3? I don't see it anywhere on the HSSEAS GEs.</p>

<p>everyone has to take it</p>

<p>it's a university requirement.</p>

<p>you can petition out of chem 20a</p>

<p>if you get a 5 on BC I think it'll give you credit for 31b and you take 32a</p>

<p>habibi's is 5-10 min walk</p>

<p>moldau, did you go to gagik's review sessions?</p>

<p>How exactly do you petition out of a class? And what are all of the university requirements?</p>

<p>killernago, if you are interested in doing Summer Sessions at UCLA, click [url=<a href="http://www.summer.ucla.edu%5Dhere%5B/url"&gt;http://www.summer.ucla.edu]here[/url&lt;/a&gt;]. Also, if you want to know what classes are offered during the sessions, click [url=<a href="http://www.registrar.ucla.edu/schedule/%5Dhere%5B/url"&gt;http://www.registrar.ucla.edu/schedule/]here[/url&lt;/a&gt;] and figure it out. (English Composition 3)</p>

<p>Google-search "University requirements UCLA" and find out.</p>

<p>Yeah I've looked at the HSSEAS GE requirements before. I'm confused as to if I should take Eng Comp 3 or not, because I don't see anywhere where it says it is required. Is it required for a different college or something and not HSSEAS?</p>

<p>Nevermind haha, I see it in the GE requirements for 2. Sorry about that.</p>

<p>emmeline, only the one before the final. he was funny, i learned that scerri is a loser lol</p>

<p>killernago...that's a hefty schedule for your first quarter. you might want to exchange one class for a filler GE to lighten the load. actually, you might just want to consider taking three classes only. it's recommended.</p>
