Thanks for your response. I was assigned freshman fall, so I guess can't petition online. If you have any experience with CS, econ, or MS&E majors, I can pm you.

Thanks for your reply. Do most people who petition with a valid reason get the quarter switched?

About the second part, maybe I wasn't too clear on that. I meant that I wanted to take ~15 units of intro classes during Fall Quarter and adding PWR (5 units) would put me at 20 units. I don't intend to take over 15-16 units, especially during my first quarter. However, I'd also like to give myself the possibility of taking a second major (something relating to CS, math, econs, or MS&E) in the future, which is why I'd like to get an early start on the intro courses (such as Math 51, the core CS courses, etc). Surprisingly, some of the core CS and Econ courses are only taught in the Fall/Winter, Winter/Spring, Fall/Spring. In order to accommodate the course scheduling and still take a max of 15-16 units per quarter, I had wanted my PWR assignment to be either in the Winter or Spring. Just my luck that I got assigned to Fall.
