College Confidential - View Single Post - UCLA Freshman Clusters-Is it worth it?

This post is directed towards 2nd years-seniors at UCLA.

My orientation is next Monday-Wednesday and I'm seeking advice for my course schedule.

I am pre-med, majoring in MCDB, and in the freshman honors program.

My course so far will be the basic: Math 3A, Chemistry 14A, + GE?

I have heard a lot of negative comments about enrolling in a freshman cluster to help fulfill the GE requirement (saying it's too much work, not worth it).

My questions are:

1. Is taking a freshman cluster a GPA killer?

2. If not a freshman cluster, then what GE course should I take (that must also fit the honors program requirements)?
