<p>Hi, guys
I've just received an e-mail about course registration (6/16) and I thought it would be very helpful if those of you who already experienced freshman year
(sophomore,junior,senior..) can give some ideas about course registration...</p>
<p>How did you plan your first freshman year schedule? Is there any tip?
(things that would have greatly helped you if you had known earlier...)</p>
<p>Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>Your freshman class is pretty well set WTE, Conversations of the West, Calculus, Microeconomics, Businees and it's Publics, Statistics, aand two electives.</p>
<p>It always helps to sihn up for classes earlier rather than later as courses fill up you course times and sections become less selective. Good Luck.</p>
<p>if you want an easy micro class, take it first semester. if you want to learn something, take it second semester. (much more math intensive, the book used was written by an MIT professor)</p>
<p>Do you know if you still take WTE? I heard on the grapevine that they're finally cutting WTE and making stern kids take a business writing class first semester, and then BIP the second semester. But I don't know if that starts this year, or next year.</p>
<p>if you still have to take WTE, and you believe what many people say about the usefulness of WTE, then don't take it first semester. Leave it for a later year like senior year if you don't want it to screw up your grades.</p>
<p>If you can, don't take statistics the first semester, because you're not going to be able to get Kurnow. Wait until you can take statistics with Kurnow. </p>
<p>Listen to stern's recommendations and don't take Stats with Calc or Conwest with World Cultures. </p>
<p>Calculus past Calc I at NYU is kind of hard. Teachers may do something crazy like implement curves or give you a book that is impossible to understand. I know many kids who took calc 3/linear algebra in high school and were having trouble with the classes.</p>
<p>Put in your AP science credit for better registration times! The tradeoff is you won't have a GPA booster if science is your thing, and if you put in physics, bio, or chem, I think that it'll count for 5 or 6 credits, which for people who want to double major and travel abroad may mess up plans.</p>
<p>if you want good classes, make sure you sign up at the earlist possible time. classes fill up quickly.</p>
<p>stuff for later:</p>
<p>If you can, put off world cultures until you study abroad, because you can take arguably better world cultures classes while abroad.</p>
<p>Also put off intro to marketing until you study abroad. supposedly it's better abroad.</p>
<p>don't take orgcom and moa at the same time.</p>
<p>some classes are supposedly easier abroad. I forget which ones.</p>
