<p>I'm thinking</p>
<p>UGBA</p>
<p>Economics I</p>
<p>Some breadth course</p>
<p>But i'm kind of confused as to what math to take...I'm willing to work hard at math even though I'm not super amazing at it though. Like i would prefer an easier math class, but if that were to deter me from getting into haas, then i would chose the harder one</p>
<p>Does this schedule look okay so far? any suggestions? should i add in a fifth class?any help would be great! thanks :)</p>
<p>so 3 reqs in a semester? 3/5 req classes that constitute about 50% of the decision whether or not you should be admitted to haas or not. your <em>first</em> semester where you don’t even know what goes downnnnnn in college classes like econ 1, ugba 10, and prob the math 16 series you’re going to take with other fail mathletes and a few sandbaggers. sounds super smart bro. i like putting all my eggs in one basket as much as the next guy, but deeyum. talk about high risk no reward.</p>
<p>In other words, you might want to spread out the Haas prerequisites so that you can maximize your grades in those classes.</p>
<p>What AP Calculus credit do you have? For Haas, you need the following math:</p>
<p>No AP credit: 16A-16B or 1A-1B
AP credit, other than 5 on BC: 16A<em>-16B, 1A</em>-1B, 1B-53, or 1B-54
5 on BC: 16B<em>, 1B</em>, 53, or 54</p>
<ul>
<li>= sandbagger options where you repeat stuff you already know for an “easy A”, but it may not be an easy A because so many other students in the course are doing the same thing for Haas or pre-med purposes.</li>
</ul>
<p>For more on choosing a math course if you have AP Calculus credit, you can see the sample Math 1A and 1B final exams here:

<p>Hey, I’m also doing pre-Haas here’s my Fall 2011 schedule:</p>
<p>Prereqs:
UGBA 10</p>
<h2>STATS 21</h2>
<p>Breadth:
CHEM 1A
NST 10
PSYCH 2
GEOG 70AC</p>
<p>I don’t need to take ECON which means I still have R1A, R1B, and 2 MATH courses. </p>
<p>I’m still having second thoughts on STATS 21 (seems very challenging) for my first semester.</p>
<p>^^ What? You’re doing 6 classes? 23 units??</p>
<p>It’s actually only 19 units, but still a ridiculous number of classes.</p>
<p>If you need to do your reading and comp requirements, you should take that class first semester!</p>

<p>Hey, are there any specific reasons that I should take my R&C first semester? I’ve been hearing about it here and there, it’s not a requirement right? Or is it simply because it will be conducive to better college papers?</p>
<p>Taking R&C early is suggested because it may help you write better papers in later courses (at least those in similar subject areas as the R&C courses – most of those subject areas are literature / humanities, though some R&C courses are in subjects like history and anthropology).</p>
<p>^ +1. if you can figure out how to milk the R&C cow, you can pretty much game your other BS writing classes later on much more easily.</p>
<p>I have heard different things, but a 5 is needed on both Econ exams to get full credit right? And thanks guys! Econ is full anyways so I’m thinking art history (my r and c credit), ugba 10, math 16b, and some breadth course. Sound good?</p>
<p>Sorry I meant 16a. Hopefully haas won’t mind that I didn’t take 16b.</p>
<p>5 on both AP Economics tests is needed to place out of Economics 1 for UGBA major purposes. 4 on both AP Economics tests is needed to place out of Economics 1 for Economics major purposes.</p>
