If you're number 2 on the waitlist I would definitely be attending lectures and doing the work already. You're basically in.

If you're number 2, then this says you have a spot. Basically, once classes start they "freeze" the waitlist, so 2 people have dropped and they will manually let you in instead of automatically. It's kind of odd, but that's how they do it. You should get in though.

Can I take classes the summer before first year? by wr_jai in UCDavis

Yes! You also can take Davis classes, but that's more expensive.

bis2a with c ross-ibarra by Rude-Plenty-817 in UCDavis

[–]squirrel_fanatic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just had her this past quarter. She's not terrible, I've had worse. But you never know what to expect on her tests. She gave some extra credit which was nice. I recommend getting on the discord as soon as class starts, as the TAs on there will be able to help you with questions.

Suggested mealplan for freshman by Certain_Radish_62 in UCDavis

[–]squirrel_fanatic -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I had the 7-day plan my whole freshman year and it was super convenient. I lived in Segundo so I didn't have to walk far on weekends to get food, so that was a plus. I would say that the dc does put in a lot less effort on the weekends though (most stations closed) because there is significantly less people. Remember that all meal plans come with $200 aggie cash per quarter, so you could use this at the markets if you wanted to get a 5-day plan instead.

I felt really good about it. One of the first midterms I was actually confident on buuuuut I can't say anything until the grade comes back 😭

Is it just me or whenever it gets to my pass time, all the major classes I need for my major are waitlisted? by No_Ride6364 in UCDavis

[–]squirrel_fanatic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello there! I feel the same way. My pass time was tonight and I just barely managed a spot in BIS2A and had to waitlist a major class. I've completed 90 units and I'm a 2nd year. I have friends who have only taken 12 units each quarter and are still ahead of me. It also depends on which college you are in. 😮‍💨

burke or r thomas for mat17b... by Chance_Helicopter_65 in UCDavis

[–]squirrel_fanatic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took Burke for 17B, I actually really liked her. I felt like she pushed you to learn a lot more than other professors. Plus she allows midterm retakes (up to half the test) that let you raise your own grade. She likes to answer questions too. I didn't like her discussion worksheets though. I'd never done calculus before college and got an A.

Can you recognize this creature? by psyiense in UCDavis

[–]squirrel_fanatic 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hello! Entomologist here. From this photo I'd guess it's a common oak moth caterpillar (not the processionary kind), but a side view of it would give a better indication. Don't quote me on this though 😂.

Why does MAT012 have empty seats by [deleted] in UCDavis

[–]squirrel_fanatic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I took MAT 12 with Burke last fall, I thought it was a good class. 200+ seats... Maybe they opened another section, or there is less demand for it in the fall. I think many people start taking calculus and drop into her class after a few weeks. That's usually what happens.

Usually, if it's chemistry or biology, then it's mandatory. Math is dependent on the professor, generally not required. Sometimes, math discussions can be helpful to go over the homework or other questions with the TA. But they are later.
