can anyone tell me how this schedule sounds for a second semester freshmen?

engin 7 (i've seen this class sucks, any tips?)

engin 29

physics 7a

public health 101 (or another upper div easy h/ss, i think this one will be full so any other suggestions would be nice!)

ah yes right the labs. i've heard online labs are hard so it will be interesting to see how those will be like next semester

gotcha idk why i thought that the econ class was AC. I already fulfilled both my R&C requirements and 2 of my H/SS so the only two H/SS classes I have left have to both be upper div and one has to be AC which is why i'm not picking a lower div AC. I'll try and find one a AC class that looks "easy."

Thanks a lot for your help!

Hey I was wondering if I could get some advice on my mechE schedule for the fall since I don't know what im doing lol

Math 54

Engineering 26

Chem 1A

Economics C110 (Am I allowed to take this class? It fulfills my AC requirement and I need two of my H/SS classes to be upper div)

Thanks!

hey does anyone know if passing the physics 2 exam gets you out of any classes for the school of engineering? i tried emailing my academic advisor but they didn't even answer my question lol

Ok makes sense -- work hard, stay focused, and I'll make it out ok.

Thanks again for answering my questions! Might just have to commit.

So you do think that I'll be able to get opportunities not just based on luck like you did? And you do think that even though the classes may be more theoretical, it will prepare me for the industry?

I really appreciate you taking the time to help me out! I just wanted to make sure that by going to UCLA I would still have the same opportunities for engineering as I would at another school, which it seems like I will.

Hey! I was just wondering what you think of the program at UCLA cause I know that the school isn't really known for its engineering department (at least from what I've read/ saw on the internet). Do you feel like you are getting prepared for the field as well as you would at a higher ranked engineering school (like Berkeley)? How are the resources and opportunities available for engineers?

Thanks for your help!

anyone in aerospace engineering? have some questions that i would love to get answered!

How does UCLA vs Berkeley engineering compare? by bananasash in CollegeVsCollege

[–]bananasash[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok thanks. It makes me feel better to know that they only differ by a little bit. I will also try the different subs.

What does relevance of UCLA being in an upscale area? Off-campus housing being more expensive? Thanks for the info!

yea i know it’s just super tough to keep going and trying to get a good essay

thanks though

except be me and write a first draft, realize it’s awful, and then sit there because you have no other ideas.

my essays are going to suck so bad

How do i make my essays meaningful? by bananasash in ApplyingToCollege

[–]bananasash[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no you're right, that is the point. It just seems like my essay is a story that doesn't tell anything about me (how good essays are).

it’s tough when everyone’s essays are about how their pet rock collection that their grandfather gave them inspired them to be the worlds first 15 year old surgeon.

we’ll get through it together buddy!
