<p>Hey guys,
so I know we don't register for classes at orientation and that it is done online. A couple places say freshman registration is random, anyone wanna verify (at least for the Fall Quarter) </p>
<p>My main question is when do we meet with counselors and such to discuss what classes we r going to take??????</p>
<p>Also, I'm in Marshall for Human Biology, so if anyone can tailor the response to that then great, if not, then that's okay too lol. </p>
<p>While I'm here, anyone know if Chancellor's scholars get priority over seniors the way Regents scholars do? Just curious.</p>
<p>You don’t really meet with counselors one-on-one, unfortunately… There’s definitely no hand holding at UCSD, especially with the budget cuts. At orientation, however, there will typically be lectures that explain what you need to take and they’ll pass out pamphlets that list the GEs, etc. </p>
<p>For fall quarter ONLY, freshmen registration times are assigned RANDOMLY. You’ll register online around the 3rd-last week in August. After your fall quarter, registration times are assigned based on the number of units you have (therefore seniors typically register first, etc.)</p>
<p>Well i believe it is only advised for your first quarter. Depending on your major, say an engineer, they’ll suggest Warren Writing, Math, Physics, and a GE.</p>
<p>@ucsandiego915: according to you, does orientation come before registrattion then? but i heard that you register in late august and the orientation is in september after you move in. i’ve struggled to get a clear answer to this question just like parallel reality. can you give an exact range of the registration time? some people said that its the aug 30 to early september</p>

It depends on your college when your orientation is. Warren for example had it two days before welcome week while other colleges had it during the summer.</p>
<p>I just wanted to say that while you do get a list of recommended classes to take, you shouldn’t blindly sign up for the classes. Just check your academic transcript to see if any of your AP classes will clear things up for you.</p>
<p>Last year, my friend (an incoming freshman) was advised to take one of the bio courses, since it’s part of our GE’s (Revelle). He didn’t find out until ~1-2 weeks before finals week that he didn’t actually need that bio course, because he took Bio AP. </p>
<p>Technically, you should be able to figure out which classes to take just from looking through the academic advising guide. I will admit that it is a little confusing and I have made false assumptions in the past. You can always email academic advising if you have any pressing questions. And then when you get here, they’ll always be able to drop by and have them help you from there on out. I always seem to learn more than I expected to when I walk in for advising. Ha ha.</p>
<p>CHEM 6A was basically the first semester of AP Chem. If you did pretty well in that class, you’ll be fine in 6A. If you didn’t take AP Chem, then it’s okay, the material’s pretty simple to learn and master if you just pay attention in lecture, read the book, go to section, and go to office hours for any other help. I had Professor Sailor, and he had weekly quizzes in class, no midterms or homework. The quizzes and final were very doable with the proper amount of studying.</p>
