<p>Is 19 units fall quarter at UCI crazy for an "average" student at a competitive high school who took AP English, AP Chem, and AP Bio and did well in the class and on the AP tests?</p>
<p>-Chemistry (H2A) w/lab (H2LA) (6 units)
-Bio 93 (4 units)
-Bio 2A (1 unit)
-Humanities 1A (8 units)</p>
<p>that's exactly my schedule last year. </p>
<p>It's very doable. In fact, I felt like I had too much free time my first year compared to my second year. I wish I had taken more units</p>
<p>is this a doable schedule? i have spop next week, and i want a good idea of the do-ability of classes before i leave. looking at the list, it looks overwhelming.. and lots of reading...</p>
<p>History 40A (4).
Humanities 1A (8)
Latin 1A (5-5-5)
Political Science 21A (4)</p>
<p>i wish i could take Math2B or Music25A, so i don't know which classes i want to take. :(</p>
<p>maxima, isnt that sched REQUIRED for bio majors?</p>
<p>a friend said that was what all the CHP bio majors took. anyways good seeing another chp peer.</p>
<p>my sched is:</p>
<p>Chem h2a with h2la
bme 1
math 2d
physics 7a with 7la</p>
<p>18 units total</p>
<p>edit: no i dont think youre crazy</p>
<p>As a freshman, you may not be prepared to handle a big load, but that's subjective. Being an average student at a competitive high school with a history of multiple AP courses doesn't really tell you if you'll be able to or not. It all depends on how you are with time and responsibilities. I definitely support that schedule since it'll give you a challenge and keep you busy, but things may happen that will deter you from your studies. Make sure you stay focused all the time if you want to take that schedule on. That is, of course, if you want good grades...</p>
<p>well, i'll be living at home..so hopefully not many distractions unless my parents cause them...and....i'm also not CHP..but thanks for all of your input...guess i"ll stick to it...</p>
<p>uh how do you guys know what classes to take? Is there a list somewhere?
please direct me to it so i won't be totally confuse when i have to choose them. thank a bunch</p>
<p>Btw, is this a normal schedule for a college student? Why is there no room for elective? It already suonds boring. Is everybody with same major basically gonna have the same schedule?</p>
<p>sweetdream: it all depends on your major on whether you can even fit an elective, most impacted majors such as any engineering won't leave you that much breathing room. For maximaboy, he has the typical honors Bio Sci major courseload, with Humcore as his elective of sorts. ShoeFactory has the slightly advanced BME schedule for freshmen, where electives are not a likely early on. It all depends on the major.</p>

<p>The above link is the general catalogue for UCI. It is best to look at the degrees under your department, as they often give sample schedules for that degree, so as to give you an idea what classes you will take.</p>
<p>i'm planning on taking:</p>
<p>Writing 39B
Poli Sci 21A
US/World Geography
Film & Media Studies 85A</p>
<p>is Bio 2A required?</p>
<p>no i believe its an optional seminar class.</p>
<p>The Brian: Are you undeclared? That schedule seems a little random, as if geared toward breadth alone.</p>
<p>corporateflea: Bio 2A is optional, but 2B is required.</p>
<p>i'll be a poli sci major.</p>
<p>i'll be taking the 21/31/41/51/61 path rather than the 6A/6B/6C path.</p>
<p>anyway, it really is spread out, but i want to take breadth out as well. :)</p>
<p>also, overall, it seems like a pretty easy schedule. i have orientation on the 6th so it's not final yet.</p>
<p>im a BME major..who didnt pass the writing test</p>
<p>possible schedule??</p>
<p>Math 2B
chem 1A
writing 39a
BME 1</p>
<p>The Brian: makes sense then. </p>
<p>gohansdemise: Problem is, you don't have physics on there, though you should. You need 7A and 7LA, and they engineering department will frown on you if you go without it. Try moving writing 39a to winter quarter, since you won't have BME classes anymore.</p>
<p>i'm really confused.</p>
<p>is it possible that all writing 39b classes are full?</p>
<p>what am i to do of they're all full? :(</p>
<p>take w39b next quarter like i am.</p>
<p>hmm, i guess so.</p>
<p>time to look for a new class or stay with 3...</p>
