<p>Would this be a balanced schedule for a freshman new to Cal?</p>
<p>Math 54 (4 units) - hopefully i get a 5 on Calculus BC
Chinese 1AX (3 units)
Economics 1 (4 units)
Salvic Language and Lit. 134A (4 units) - I love Gogol's works</p>
<p>and a P/NP (1unit) Seminar class</p>
<p>Would it be wise to take english first rather then Salvic Lang and Lit even though it will fulfill one of the breath req.</p>
<p>No reason to take Math 54. Unless you REALLY like math. Trust me, 5 on Calc BC doesn’t mean that much. xP</p>
<p>actually for the 101 series (econ 101a/101b) you need to have taken math 53 and 54 (you can take 54 concurrently with econ 101a) and you can take them p np but you have to take them . math 53 is a prereq for econ 101A so if you’re planning to take 101A spring 2010 then maybe take math 53 fall 2009</p>
<p>So it is better to take math 53 rather then 54 even though i get a 5</p>
<p>it depends if you want to do the 101A/101B track for econ and when you want to take 101A (because u have to take it before 101B)</p>
<p>What is the difference between 100A and 101A? Is there any difference in math?</p>
<p>econ 101A requires more math (specifically multivariable calculus) Econ 100A requires only the 16 series of calculus (i think) you should double check</p>
<p>Slavic Language and Lit. 134A is an upper division class. If you are an oustanding writer and have experience taking rigorous literature classes and writing 10-15 page papers, it might be OK, but I think most freshmen would have trouble meeting the expected standards their first semester.</p>
