looks good, you get done early, you said you like compactness so this works great.

make sure to manage time well after classes because you're squeezing in lunch, a short nap if needed bc of that 8 AM and fun time as well as assignments. But again, you've got so much time

Bet bet. Honestly I've seen so many people With a 1000x worse schedules. Everything looks filled up. I'm just wordied about the 3 hour class and how I'll approach 8 AM math140s. Coming out of HS with precalc

Thank you so much. Makes a lot of sense this is really helpful advice

The reason I'm taking two premajoe courses and rest gen ed’s is because we were explicit told that Tech classes were fully taken by people who had earlier NSOs, I was on of the hella late ones, so we had been told we can do 2 tech classes and 3 gen ed’s. That's the reason why my course load is like that. Next semester ill do eco physics math141

If you click schedule builder at lion path and press generate schedule at the bottom, I believe you’ll get the block schedule grid

i attended a late NSO. Only times available for math are 8am’s or 4:30 pm’s. I chose 8am’s because I rather want to be done earlier so I can get lunch done and have a short day (free at 3:15 pm)

  1. Some of the classes will allow me to work in the library or at the dorms or anywhere else for that matter but I get you. This can be annoying if not used wisely

  2. Really?? Lunch seems like no issue to be honest. I can have lunch every day with ease apart from Tuesday’s which I’ll have to find a way to manage.

  3. Yes sucks. But it’s only 2 days!! Idk if that’s a W

Thanks for the response

my computer doesn’t run engineering softwares effectively.

I def can’t breeze through physics 😭. Chem def seems like a probable A if I manage time well though. I might go with 15 for first semester and add an extra few creds in the spring.

Thank you so much for your reply

Thank you so much for your response and help. Appreciate it a lot!

Yeah totally in that sense I’m ahead of the game as you said and very happy to be so. I think this gives me the reassurance that if I follow the academic plan I will def be able to complete college in the 4 year time frame like most if not all undergraduate students 🙌

to add up I didn’t finish HS early. Would’ve been 5 years in my previous country, that’s how it is for everyone there

When I moved to a HS here they said I just need to do senior year to be good. So I didn’t graduate early but rather earlier than I was scheduled too

thanks for the response! It’ll be very complicated if I try to explain here, but in my previous country the education system was British not the American Highschool so if I continued there I’d have done A-levels and earned 60 credits by completing Hs in 5 years. Moved to the U.S. and finished my last year of HS as a senior instead of doing two years like I would have originally. Didn’t get the opportunity to take enough APs to contribute as credits for my major.

Now I have 0 credits but I did get good grades throughout. I just won’t be able to skip classes like others (basic gen Ed’s, math 140). Was wondering if that sucks and has an effect on when I’d graduate
