<p>I'm going to be a freshman at UC berkeley in the fall this year...and originally i intended to sign up for Econ 1, but the class ended up being too full and conflicted with some of my other classes. So instead, i signed up for UGBA 10 (which i assume is similar to econ 1?!). </p>
<p>My other classes are:
math 16a
stats 20
asian studies 10</p>
<p>And i would say my past experience with econ would be only from the macro/micro ap tests, and i got 5's on both tests, but i'm afraid that UGBA may be too competitive and intimidating for an incoming freshman. </p>
<p>ANY ADVICE???</p>
<p>woah we’re like the same person. im taking math16a, stats21, and 2 breadth requirements. im leaving econ 1 and ugba10 for sophomore year but i have friends who are doin git now too. i can’t say anything for its difficulty but i know its a good predictor of whether im going into pre-haas or just econ if that helps at all. the advisor said we basically just go through5 modules/simulations in that class, like marketing, strategy, finance, or something like that…</p>
<p>UGBA10 is your stereotypical weeder course. The material is simple, but the grading is extremely competitive. Attendance is tracked closely and is a large portion of your grades. You will not get excused for anything, whether it be a conflicting class, medical emergency, etc.</p>
<p>It’s basically a class to acclimate intended business majors to the realities of business. If that’s not precisely your goal, look for another class.</p>
