first, what is your prospective major?

second, what is your registration window?

third, what AP credits do you have (for chem and math placement)?

Major is still in question but Economics or one of the Sciences (with Chemistry as the leading candidate) are the most likely majors. Registration window opens Wed, June 25th, at Noon. Chemistry and Calculus AP credits are there already.

First of all, both your writing 20 choices are already full, so you can cross those off the list.

Not many people I've talked to recommend Chem 23L. Basically, the worst things about it is that it goes very quickly, goes more in depth, and worst of all, the labs are graded for accuracy.

Also, the math department recommends that if you have AP credit (and are an incoming freshman), you take math 32 or math 41L instead of math 32L. I guess this is because math 32L is the second half of math 31L and draws on some things from that class. (Options for Calculus II)

Since both of your writing 20s are full, I would highly suggest you take a seminar. I think these might suit your interests:

Schedule of Courses (only has 1 seat open!)
Schedule of Courses (the third one)
Schedule of Courses (all three)
Schedule of Courses
Schedule of Courses

So, I would suggest you take Math 32, Econ 51D, and Spanish 63 on your MWF (econ also has a discussion section which can be scheduled accordingly), and then you can pick a seminar that will fit in your schedule =).
