<p>I posted this on transfer forums, but might be better here</p>
<p>First: is anyone going next week? I'm going to Tuesday one. It's on May 22nd. I still gotta figure out a place to stay. Yay for hotels!</p>
<p>Second: how is it? Do I need to bring anything? I had heard some rumor that I need to bring my most up to date transcript? That true at all cause I didn't see it on the package they sent me.</p>
<p>don't stay in any of the hotels on campus. they're way too expensive.
there are a ton of hotels within like 5 minutes of driving distance.</p>

<p>Thanks for that, I was looking for that website actually >_></p>
<p>And I might stay on campus just to spite my father, he's paying for it :)</p>
<p>Stay at the Michigan League. It's on Central Campus, the rooms are really nice and it's relatively cheap.</p>
<p>Hope you're having fun today Cvjn. It was kind of neat yesterday. Didn't tell me anything I didn't know (except for little rumor/stories about different UM traditions), but it was still neat and I met a few really nice people. Also it's nice to finally be registered so I can stop worry about the classes I want LOL.</p>
<p>Hope the day is painless and you get in all your courses.</p>
<p>haha, thanks zuzu, I'm just... sitting here at the UGLi cause this thing doesn't start for another 20 minutes. Woke up at 4 AM to drive here, and gotta drive back after :'( </p>
<p>I should probably look at what classes to take... incase mine fill up</p>
<p>Can you register for classes before you come to orientation? Mine isn't until August 28th and I'm worried that I won't get the courses I want to take. :(</p>
<p>Unfortunately no, you can't register, you can only backpack them. That's why I tried so hard to get the first possible orientation date.</p>
<p>Dear god, I think they just scared me out of Economics and somehow into Pre Med. I'm not sure what to take anymore... at the moment... I'm Asian Studies / Pre Med...</p>
<p>LOL Cvjn, how in the world did they manage to do that?</p>
<p>Oh, and did you end up getting the courses you want? What are you taking?</p>
<p>Well, I had my 4 chosen, and that was like Econ 102, Stats 350, English 120? (not sure if that was the number) and like some other class. Then, they were like "hm... SO HIGH LEVEL ECON IS LIKE, ONE OF THE MOST FAILED MAJORS"</p>
<p>doesn't phase me</p>
<p>"DO YOU REALLY THINK YOU CAN HANDLE IT???, ECON 401 IS THE HARDEST CLASS AT U-M"</p>
<p>I... think so... (i'm starting to break here)</p>
<p>"WELL, PEOPLE THERE ARE REALLY COMPETITIVE. THEY PUSH OTHER ASIDE TO HELP THEMSELVES"</p>
<p>oh... </p>
<p>"YOU SHOULD DO PRE-MED, EVERYONE HELPS EACH OTHER..."</p>
<p>I... I guess... (it was actually a bit longer to break me, but that's the basic jist of it. I never really could get my word through...)</p>
<p>and so I only have 2 classes registered, Econ 102 and like First Year Writing College Writing (English 120?) I might do Chem 130 + some seminar because we can do that as transfers.</p>
<p>^^ oh darn :(</p>
<p>If I can somehow manage to get into Ross, all of the trouble of having to decide this, would be over. I'm just preparing for the worst case possible. And it's alright MightyNick! You pulled a 3.9x? right? You'll have no problem here ;)</p>
<p>Aaand this is why I usually ignore advisors. I'm sure a lot more people drop from pre-med, but there's no real major or department for pre-med. You wouldn't really notice as an advisor if someone was planning to do pre-med, and ended up failing a prereq course and switching to something else before they declare.</p>
<p>If you're good with math, Econ 401 is a breeze. The people who fail that class are the ones who aren't good at math/don't want to take more math, but still naively think they can do upper level economics. My friend who only did calc 1 at another crappy school and refuses to do anymore withdrew from 401 last term and is trying again spring term. My friend who did AP calc in high school, and did calc III/linear algebra at Michigan managed to pull an A-. All of my friends who do Honors math and have taken econ 401 described it as "busy work" and "blow-off class". See the correlation?</p>
<p>My friends in honors math did not say the same about econ 401, but they almost all ended up with A's.</p>
<p>How long did it take you guys to come up with a map that took a closed set to an open set?</p>
<p>1 month........</p>
<p>Anyone know which professor you would have if it lists 3 of them? Or do you get all 3?</p>
<p>Only one of them. The way it works is you sign up for a discussion section, and each discussion section has a corresponding lecture. Usually there will be something like lecture001, lecture002, lecture003, and then discussion010, discussion 012, discussion020, discussion 021, discussion 030, discussion031. For most classes, everything that's graded is done through discussion sections, so you could theoretically attend any lecture you wanted to (though they highly recommend you go to the one you're signed up for, if anything for space reasons).</p>
