<p>So I’m looking at autumn quarter classes for honors, and one is about human trafficking and there’s some other weird ones…what the heck does that class count for?!</p>
<p>@Speedsolver: So it’s an option to not take math your first quarter at the UW? Awesome… Math isn’t my best subject and I’d like to adjust to college before I take on classes that I find unappealing/difficult…</p>
<p>Yes, not everyone has to take math, some people won’t even take a single math course at UW.</p>
<p>momomomo - usually that might be an I&S (Individuals and Society). It should say on the website, I think. Sometimes, these also count as Writing courses (as I found out last quarter with my Honors classes). So in essence, you can take a 5 credit course, and get 5 credits of I&S and Writing done in one class!</p>
<p>I’m sharing exactly the same sentiments with ilikeUW. I rather take some classes I’m more familiar and accustomed to while spending the first quarter adjusting to campus life and the weather.</p>
<p>Not sure what I’m picking yet, but I’ll probably slot myself into a Geography class. Debating between Elem Music Theory, Chem or Anthro classes since I need to fulfill the FVPA admissions requirement in my first year :(</p>
<p>What’s FVPA?</p>
<p>Fine, Visual and Performance Arts.</p>
<p>Why do you need to do it so early?</p>
<p>@momomomo laxaria probably didn’t satisfy that requirement in high school, and so he/she has to take a FVPA class within her first academic year at the UW. btw, i’m in the same boat</p>
<p>Yea I’m a he.</p>
<p>I’m considering taking Elem Music Theory since it’s probably the cheapest way to fulfill it since I do hold a fair amount of experience in piano and a Grade 4 ABRSM certificate in it. Still doesn’t fulfill their requirements for some odd reason. :(</p>
<p>What do you plan to take to fulfill it niksabs? :)</p>
<p>Wait, how did you even get accepted if you didn’t take fine arts in HS?</p>
<p>For me, technically, I don’t have a Fine Arts component in my education unless I specifically choose so. My IBDP Group Six was Economics, not Music.</p>
<p>The entire thing’s horribly complicated, personally. =/</p>
