<p>I have 73 units. I wonder if I could get junior standing after another quarter. That would be pretty cool. Not that I could graduate early anyway, since I'm engineering.</p>
<p>hmm i hope i dont have that problem when i register...
i have 61.5 units... but it doesnt say anything about be a sophomore on my history thing... but its good to have the info just incase! thanks for the info slorg!</p>
<p>what are the advantages/disadvantages of having a sophomore status. I mean, it seems kind of.... abnormal... to be a sophomore your first year. Is it really worth it?</p>
<p>Also, syneria, where did you check to see that you were a sophomore?</p>
<p>The only disadvatage that I really see is not being able to sign up for freshman seminars.</p>
<p>The advantages include bypassing the 19.6 unit limit for freshmen, and earlier registration times. Depending on your major, you could also graduate earlier, which saves you a lot of money.</p>
<p>I'm not really sure why it wouldn't be "worth it" if there aren't really any disadvantages.</p>
<p>i don't think its 36 credits...cause i have 44 credits and im still a frehsman...haha</p>
<p>... I didn't really get an earlier registration time. Didn't try pushing the 19.6 unit limit (I have 19 units exactly), so don't know about that. Not sure if I'll graduate any earlier either, due to major requirements and post-undergrad plans.</p>
<p>hey this site is better than supraforums. how come i quit this after high school? i talk to myself even online haha.</p>
<p>bio majors do not need 5 years to finish their load. 4 years is the norm and a significant amount even finish before 4 years. take my friend sarah for example who finished in just 3 years. she is neither incredibly stupid nor incredibly smart. of course, if she is reading this somehow she should discard the obvious typo above and know that i meant to say that she IS incredibly smart ^__^. my other bio/chem friends also can finish early (not by an entire year but a quarter early) but are choosing to stay for the remainder of their last year. </p>
<p>on to freshman seminars and life: freshman seminars are a waste of your life. don't take it! i took one, how to feed 9 billion people by 2050, and i deeply regretted it. not only did i learn nothing.... it made me hungry lol.</p>
<p>peace</p>
<p>in the middle east</p>
<p>(just letting you all know, sophomores and even juniors can take freshman seminars--don't worry, UCSD will let you waste your life on a 1 unit course regardless of your year ^_____^)</p>
<p>Lawl. Talk about needing a life. ;o Jay kay. CC can be addicting.</p>
<p>Really? If I don't get into that Intro to Acting class I'm waitlisted in, I'd only have 3 "serious" classes. Freshman seminars would somehow magically fill that void in my heart then. <em>clutch</em> Not.</p>
<p>Wanted to sign up for a How to Read a Textbook seminar. Gets rid of an hour gap between my classes, might be helpful in some classes, and gives me units. Wouldn't that be good, considering that future enrollment times are based on how many units you have? I have some unit-catching up to do, considering everlasting13 has 73 units.</p>
<p>Oh. And for future FYIs:
Yes, all I needed to do was to do as Slorg said; contact (email, in my case) the college/department that was offering the seminar and request them to remove the restriction.</p>
<p>You didn't get an earlier registration right now because first quarter registration times are completely random. I think things like units or honors starts kicking in starting second quarter.</p>
<p>Anyway, if you have 19 units and you were a freshman, you wouldn't have been able to sign up for the seminar anyway. Since there is the credit limit.</p>
<p>But my point is still that being a sophomore can't really hurt you in any way. It'll probably help you at least a little, but it won't hurt you. It also means that you took a bunch of AP classes, which probably helped you get into the colleges that you did, and so on.</p>
<p>ok, so UCSD labeled me as a sophomore since I have 70+ transferable credits (I have no clue why I have so many... I didn't know they gave so much for CC credit). Does this mean that my 2nd year I will be labeled a Junior, and my third year I will be a Senior? If so, what will I be labeled in my 4th year? And will my transcript say that it took me 5 years to complete my degree?</p>
<p>Also, will there be anything that I will be missing out on if I am labeled a sophomore my first year (as opposed to being labeled a freshman) besides freshman seminars? For example, will I be misinformed (or not be informed at all) about certain things that UCSD is supposed to let the freshmen know about? In general, what will be the overall effect of being labeled a sophomore instead of a freshman?</p>
<p>Also, does anyone know how many students enter as sophomores?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>im guessing that a lot of students can enter as sophomores because of AP and CC transfer credit.</p>
<p>I'd say a fair share of students are coming in as sophomores. Since you already have enough credits to bump you up into sophomore status, I'm guessing it'd be easier for you to graduate in 3 years. However, if it becomes 4, I guess you become supersenior, and if even 5, then superdupersenior. :P</p>
<p>eventually leading you to become a hypersenior.</p>
