<p>The Freshman Handbook inside the packet inside answered most of my questions about the move to Yale. :)</p>
<p>Hmmm.... interesting info... </p>
<p>Any course taken at Yale may be taken for a Pass/D/Fail rather than a letter grade. However, you cannot do this for you distributional requirements, and some departments won't let you do this for your major. </p>
<p>Directed Studies look interesting... I might take a crack at it.</p>
<p>Me too!!! Yeah, pretty informational…but more forms to fill out, haha. Going to get a better look through everything tomorrow…</p>
<p>yeahhhh i should probz get on those formz.</p>
<p>I haven’t got mine yet, but no P/F for distribution requirements? Bleargh. I’m going to take remedial math.</p>
<p>^ I hate math too. The beauty of the distributional requirements are that for stuff like QR (quantitative reasoning) you can wiggle out of math or statistics. </p>
<p>Though QR is mostly math and stats, there are also courses like astronomy, geology, and others that count toward meeting the distributional requirements. :)</p>
<p>There are logic-oriented philosophy programs that count too.</p>
<p>What I didn’t know was that as a freshman you had to take one course in two of the following areas: writing, quantitative reasoning, and foreign language. I’m in DS so that hamstrings me a little, but it looks like intro econ works out as QR so that’s alright.</p>
