Yale freshman blogging for YOU

<p>laxman: yeah, classes that count for distributional req can also count for the major. however, some classes count for either/or two req, like some astronomy classes are both math and science, but you can only choose to make it count for one or the other.</p>

<p>denebola: yep, yale definitely recognizes that we may not be intensely interested in pure mathematics. like for me, i'm definitely a humanities person, so i'm haven't taken any math or science courses this year. but there are a lot of random ones. like galaxies and the universe, math of nature etc that are "less intense"</p>

<p>also, i think the bluebook might be online... i know it is online, but it might only be accessible to admitted students, possibly. but you could look.</p>

<p>well parts of it are online..like the prelim. stuff that students need to know, and random crap about move in day and stuff, but the actual courses, it doesn't quite get down to them, it sort of gives you an over view of some...it's kind of hard to explain what it looks like from the website..</p>

<p>blog some more! it's interesting to read :)</p>

<p>They had current blue books available for $5 at the Visitor Center if you're ever visiting Yale, I have mine in my backpack right now :)</p>

<p>So jeal! I went to visit last April and I didn't see any (although that's kind of cheap to make you pay...at Wesleyan they had them for free! not that wes at all beats Yale, but still..haha)</p>

<p>lol yale is trying to get its prospective freshmans' SAT scores higher by giving out blue books for cheap. haha</p>

<p>^ what..?</p>

<p>10char</p>

<p>The Yale Blue Book is a catalog of all the courses, not SAT prep like SuperMarioJ was thinking.</p>

<p>Haha yeah it is kind of cheap. The adcom talking to us at the info session said they might have '07-'08 ones available for us to take, but all they had were current ones, so I guess I was just buying it like a student who lost theirs would.</p>

<p>oo woops.......</p>

<p>haha...I literally was so curious to see where this was going. I read your post and was like...what in the world does the blue book have to do with SATs. </p>

<p>Kind of funny though :) Don't even worry about it..</p>

<p>Yale</a> Online Course Information | Search Courses <--that's the online course catalog, which I'm almost positive you don't have to actually be on the Yale network to view, for those who haven't found it yet. (The course evaluations, however, do require a NetID) OCI is much better than the blue book anyway; rooms and times sometimes change between its printing and the start of classes.</p>

<p>Hey what happened to responding? I posted a question ON your blog and you didn't answer :( I was sad</p>

<p>hi, could u pm me the link to the blog. thx</p>
