<p>Hey guys,
so i would really appreciate if someone can offer their experiences in these courses and give suggestions as to whether i should use the AP credit or not. I'm going into Operations Research in CoE.</p>
<p>Calc BC (5) - Math 1910
Linear Algebra (credits granted) got a B at local university- Math 2940
Chem AP (5) - Chem 2090
Physics B (5) - Phys 1112
Physics C - E+M (5)- Phys 2213
Comp Sci (5) - CS 1110
Econ Micro (5)- Econ 1110
Econ Macro (4) - Econ 1120
English Lit (5) - Writing Seminar x 1</p>
<p>For future non-engineering courses, i'm taking..
Math 1920, CS 2800 (to replace Phys 2214) and Math 2930 (Differential Equations).</p>
<p>and for engineering courses, so far i know for sure the basic requirements
ORIE 3120: Industrial Data and Systems Analysis
ORIE 3150: Financial and Managerial Accounting
ORIE 3300: Optimization I
ORIE 3310: Optimization II
ORIE 3500: Engineering Probability and Statistics II
ORIE 3510: Introductory Engineering Stochastic Processes I
ORIE 4580: Simulation Modeling and Analysis</p>
<p>ENGRD 2110a: Objected-Oriented Programming and Data Structures
ENGRD 2700: Basic Engineering Probability and Statistics (required)</p>
<p>So which courses should I be cautious when using credits as they may hinder my progress in the future due to having a 'weaker" foundation?</p>
<p>I'll need a pretty high GPA (3.5+) for the 5 year program / business school.</p>
<p>Operations Research, if I understand correctly, is the Industrial Engineering Cornell equivalent. Basically, this makes it an engineering degree that focuses on business/economics/management instead of the traditional applied science focus. So, while I would normally advise nearly every future engineer to retake physics, in your case it may be different. Conversely, I would be hesitant about skipping Econ, unless you feel very well prepared and/or feel the need to accelerate faster into higher level econ classes. For everything else, I do not see an issue with skipping.</p>
<p>Just use all of those credits except maybe Linear Algebra. That seems kinda important in ORIE and you only got a B, so it might be better to take it at Cornell.</p>
<p>Haha, wow. Very good AP scores.
Well, I’m just seeing the huge contrast of getting that 5 on the Physics C and then a 5 on the English… Absolutely blows my mind that there’s a science/math AND English freak out there.
Freak in a good way but still typed to give you a sense of how much I envy you. 0.-</p>
<p>Anyways, why not just use them all! You definitely seem to have the skills to relearn the things you forgot - and quickly.</p>
<p>The main ones that i have concern are the linear algebra and computer science. i know i will need to take ENGRD 2110, which is another computer course, and since I took Comp Sci in Gr10, the memory has pretty much faded away. I really wouldn’t want to fail 2110, an obviously important required course.</p>
<p>Also, how much does Linear Algebra link to future courses? I’ve heard it’s particularily important for OR, but to what extent and in what context? I got a B because I took the math version of the course instead of the engineering version. I’m fine with the concepts and algorithms, but just very weak at proofs.</p>
<p>Would using 1910 hinder my process in 1920 or 2930 Diff Equation?</p>
<p>I have a related question, by the time I graduate I will have AP bio, English (both), psych, euro, US, Calc BC, and stat. Which of these should I opt out of? I will need to take a lot of these as pre med requirements but I could just take a high level class.</p>
<p>premed14, you can’t use bio. You <em>might</em> not be able to use english. Use psych, euro, US, BC, and stats. Maybe take Calc I or stats here at Cornell, as it’ll probably be a good GPA booster. </p>

<p>Aviator, that’s a large amount of xfer credit - definitely use it, but understand that it’s gonna be pretty rough when you get here. I suggest doing some work over summer to prepare for those upper-level classes. Definitely use linear algebra by the way, it’s important for OR but just review it over the summer if you need to. Here is the old 2940 page: [Math</a> 2940 Fall 2010](<a href=“http://www.math.cornell.edu/~web2940/]Math”>http://www.math.cornell.edu/~web2940/)</p>
<p>Also, Skip 1910 - it’s not very useful for 1920. Just be able to integrate by parts / do some slightly weird integrals / know parametric / polar eqns well, and you’ll do fine. </p>
<p>Also, to satisfy the phys 2214 requirement, you can also take an advanced standing exam for chem 2080 when you get here, as chem 2080 will replace phys 2214, assuming you stick with OR</p>
<p>I honestly would avoid taking one of the ORIE core courses your first semester here. There’re gonna be filled with juniors / some sophomores.</p>
