| It seems impossible to enter without a clear major in mind!
My two top interests for major are engineering (biomechanical or MS) and economics.
During the Admit Weekend I got the impression that I will be able to take my time to explore the first two years and should not enter freshman year with a fixated interest. This felt really attractive as I truly do wish to explore my interests with all that Stanford can offer.
However, as I am reading the course requirements for major in ECON and BME, I am thinking to myself how is it possible complete the requirements for either major if I don't start focusing on one in my freshman year. Even a mix of classes for both major the first year seems not enough to satisfy the requirements! For example, to major in BME, I need to complete a calculus series and chem(or physics) first year; to major in ECON, I need to complete a intro-econ series first yea. I don't see how I can mix these courses to see which one I really want to major in while juggling IHUM and writing.
First autumn quarter : calc 41, Chem 31, Econ 1, Ihum, writing, seminar. ?!
Maybe I'm wrong, I certainly hope so! |
