upper div classes not allowed for 1st semester?

<p>In L&S,</p>

<p>Tried to enroll in City Planning 110 (College of Env Design class, which "is open to majors in all fields"),</p>

<p>but telebears said i do not match enroll reqs when i tried to add it.</p>

<p>Is it because it is upper div? Or is it because the class is offered in CED?</p>

<p>input appreciated</p>

<p>thanks</p>

<p>Regarding your question about upper division classes, one of my friends is taking 4 upper division math classes his first semester, and a few others are taking anywhere from 1-3, so you definitely can take upper division classes if you want.</p>

<p>your friend is seriously taking 4 upper divs math classes together as a 1st semester freshmen?</p>

<p>@mjmay7</p>

<p>Yes, he’s taking 104 (not sure if H or not), H110, 113, and 191. A couple others are taking similar courses - maybe only 2-3 of the above. I suppose we fall into the category of “rejected by MIT/Harvard/Stanford/Princeton and don’t want to attend CalTech/other Ivies/privates.” He’s definitely good at math, as are all the other people I know who are doing the same thing (USAMO qualifiers/USAMTS Gold/etc).</p>

<p>There was a girl last year too who fell into the above category (except she was accepted into MIT/CalTech, but rejected by the rest), taking quite a few upper division math classes. I think she made it out with a 3.9 GPA at the end of her freshman year.</p>

<p>Immediately jumping into upper division math courses as a freshman would be “normal” for someone who took AP Calculus BC as a junior or earlier in high school, then took all of the university sophomore level math courses at a college as a senior or earlier in high school, if s/he intends to major in math or a closely related subject that would find upper division math useful.</p>

<p>Of course, such students are uncommon in general, but are likely to be found if you look only at math majors and those who intend to major in math.</p>

<p>well i still have to take 54 because i couldn’t fit in linear algebra into my schedule :frowning:
it seems like all upper divs require 54 so its like i’m stalling for a semester</p>

<p>mjmay7, I’m in the same position as you. I was able to take Diff Eq and Calc 3, but not Linear Algebra. I don’t think we’re stalling at all. We’re still extremely close to upper division courses, and we haven’t even started college yet.</p>

<p>anw thks for the input</p>

<p>if you really want to, 104 or 113 don’t really need 54 to take. Also you would need to cover 55 eventually.</p>
