RC requirements:earlier or later?

<p>Alright I'll admit--I've jumped into the scheduling mania bandwagon!
I was wondering:
is it better to take RC requirements asap?
or better to take it later?
I need an R&C B class..I ran through the L&S search and only found comp literature, rhetoric, and asian/south asian/slavic studies. I was planning to take Rhetoric but heard it was hard..I'm 90% sure I'm going to take Math 1b and physics 7a so I'd rather have another easy class so I'm not overwhelmed my first semester.
So should I just take rhetoric or should I take another elective instead and wait for second semester for my RC?
Also, does standing affect which RC classes I get? I'd rather get a foreign-language based RC.</p>

<p>Since you only have the B left, don't worry about rushing it. I say take it in the spring since there will be more B classes (fall has more part As). </p>

<p>Standing does not matter (though people with higher standing have earlier telebears appointments and get to choose classes earlier so that could have an effect).</p>

<p>Just wait. There's no rush.</p>

<p>

math 1a, phys 7a, R&C B. do you have a fourth class? if not, taking R&C would not be a problem, though there is no rush at all. if so, still R&C would not be a problem, as it really can be considered an easier class, especially compared to technicals.</p>

<p>thanks guys! I'm taking math 1b, physics 7a, and environmental design 1, so I think I'll just wait until next semester</p>

<p>take four classes. 13 units first semester turns you into weak sauce.
L&S R44 is 5 units. It can be used for either half of the R&C requirement and it meets a breadth requirement.</p>
