As most of you know, I am trying to get into Kelly, and thus maximizing my chances using loads of research on this fine site (A2Wolves6, you are a king to me!). What chances do you give me at achieving at least B's in all of these said classes? |

| I'm assuming you are waitlisted on G100 and have X100 under drop if enrolled?
Doesn't K201 require that you sign up for a lab on Friday's? I would assume you just didn't include it on this post, because it's showing up as a 2 credit class here.
I really hate signing up for classes and not knowing what professor I am going to have. I would take BUS-X 104 instead of CMCL-C 121 because of this, you know what you're getting. All of the professors for BUS-X 104 averaged higher than a 3.4 GPA for their classes, however there are plenty of professors in CMCL-C 121 that are much lower than that.
As far as the G.E.'s go, you could probably do a lot better than Steiman-Cameron, his/her average GPA is a 2.85 for her classes.
Gass' Z201 class (2.838) grades much worse than his Z401 class (3.379). 2.838 is not very high for a G.E. Z101 isn't bad, average GPA 3.3. Lugger's A105 class is a 2.772.
If I was doing it, I would try and get out of the G.E.'s you signed up for and find easier one's. The classes you're waitlisted on aren't classes that grade easily. They all have an average GPA below a 2.9. I would also switch from CMCL-C121 to BUS-X 104.

| It is a wait list. Bus-g 100 is full(go figure), but if it opens up it replaces the BUS-X 100 class.
I decided that taking finite calc would be a risk. I am applying for spring admit to kelly and so I need to do my best during my fall classes. | |

| When I went to orientation (june 18-19th) they said that bus-x104 was
maxed out and that I was lucky since I was one of the last ones to get
it.
Rest of it looks good. I love how you have no morning classes hahaha. | |

| Who do I talk to in order to get my previous school's Access/Excel course to count for credit against Bus-K 201?
It was basically the same exact thing... I don't understand why I have to take it again! | |

| BUS-X 104 is not maxed out, it's just that there's no time available other than 8:00am. | |

| I would add GEOL-G 103. It's a TuTh class from 5:30-6:35 and the average GPA is a 3.565. 47% of the students got A's in the class, 61% got an A- or better. 12 credits is really not enough to keep you interested.
I'm starting to think CMCL-C 121 may be a better option. It's a risk when you're signing up for a professor that you don't know, but 8:00am is brutal when you're not waking up until 2:30 on TuTh. Most CMCL-C 121 professors grade 3.4+, it's a few that really are bad with their grades.
What you can do is sign up for CMCL-C 121, wait to see who the professor is that you get assigned to, and if it is someone bad, just add BUS-X 104 because the spots in the 8:00am class aren't going to be taken between now and the start of school (no one wants an 8:00am class).
I'm sorry that I'm giving conflicting advice here, BTW I wouldn't worry about BUS-G 100, you'll get in that class if you're 1st on the waitlist, and if not, you can just get a departmental override from the professor. | |

| Dunning is the guy. Any teacher that grades .5 points above the average student GPA enrolled in the class is an easy grader. I've had many friends take him and all say it was an easy A. | |
