That's too bad, CalSO's a good place to meet some people. Anyway, you actually don't need to attend CalSO to sign up for classes, unlike all the fall admits. The way you sign up for classes is by filling out a form that you print from the FPF website and sending it in through mail. Lucky you.
As for classes, I'm not sure what your major is. I think engineering majors either require Physics 7A,7B or Physics 7A, 7B, 7C. In either case you can finish those in 3 semesters. As for CS...there's the CS61 series which is CS61A, 61B, 61C. Mostly engineering majors don't need to take all three (EECS might, too lazy to look up now). Anyway, very doable and many engineers don't even bother taking any physics/CS classes until spring semester anyway. I think I mentioned in my first post that if you're an engineer you might get behind a little but what that really means is just you won't be able to get some classes out of the way early. Hey, there's always summer school if you really need it.
