| thanks for the tips, ray. I am trying to take 18.02, 18.03, 18.06, 5.111, 7.012, and 8.02. (I have credit for 18.01 and 8.01 from APs.) Unfortunately, scheduling conflicts will likely block me from taking all of those (might have to dump 5.111 in particular).
But I agree about 18.03...the psets are very, very long. I think it amounts to all the work you would have to do if you actually took the class, more or less. (Especially since I'm learning this for the first time, so I have to watch all the OCW lectures and do recitations.)
Anyway, your experience suggests it is a good idea to cast a wide net, do the best you can on the exams, and see what happens...
Re: Mollie--yup, and anyway, even if it's not actually a C that is needed, it's not like it affects my course of action. |
