Prism123: They will, sometime after all of the preference forms are collected/went over -- they already started assigning advisors (you can see them at jtf.cornell.edu, on the right hand side, only know because my friend who's a freshman told me lol). They pre-enroll you but you can change it a lot -- but if you're pre-enrolled in chem 2090 and need to take it, try to schedule around your lab, as changing things for chem SUCKS because it's all on paper... :/.

Turtlefever: The schedule that you have right now is very common to the schedules for many biology majors. Btw, how is that 20 credits?

Well as of now you have 15 academic credits on your schedule which is good enough!

Bio(lec+lab+suppl)= 2+2+1, Chem(lec+disc+lab+suppl)= 4+1, pe=1, math(lec+disc)=4, fws=3-4,

So 18-19, w.o HE

The support courses and PE are not academic credits. In addition HE100 does not count towards gradation credits. And most of the FWS are 3 credits. So actually it is 15 academic credits which once again is a really good schedule.

No problem I just want to mention that eventhough the support courses do not count towards semester or graduation credits, they are very helpful!

most classes seem to be 50 min 3x a week or 75 min 2x a week. other classes are different. autotutorial could be nothing or one lecture a week. chem 207 is 2 50 min lectures, 1 50 min section (really optional), and 1 3 hr lab a week. physics 207 is 3 50 min lectures, 2 50 min sections, and 1 2hr lab a week (probably why i'll just do physics 101 - gotta love autotutorial!)
