<p>Hi,
I got accepted into Warren for chemical engineering,
When can your switch major? ( planning on doing electrical engineering, which it is not impacted)
thank you</p>
<p>You can have a social life and not be in a sorority. Being in a sorority just makes it extremely easy to meet more people and puts social events in your lap every night.</p>

<p>You can switch you major at any time, but you might have to wait until school starts. It won’t affect what classes you can sign up for though so don’t worry about that.</p>
<p>^ Thank you KingsElite</p>
<p>Is it possible to get credit by examination as a freshman (math 20c)?
Currently I am taking Multivariable calculus at my high school, and I have compared the curriculum of Math 20c to my calc curriculum and I have/will learn everything covered in math 20c.</p>
<p>You won’t cover it at anywhere near the same level. I had 5s in both Calc AB and BC (as well as IB HL Math) and 20C wasn’t exactly a walk in the park.</p>
<p>I took Calc ap bc last year. I know that college courses are harder than high school courses, but what I am doing in my multivariable calculus course is extremely similar to 20c and we use the multivariable textbook by Stewart. I looked at previous exams and finals and they look pretty easy. (not to brag about)</p>
<p>I just dont want to waste time in a class that I ll ready know the material, plus my mvc is an amazing teacher who has a graduate degree from UPENN</p>
<p>^ it’s not the caliber of the school that makes for an effective teacher.</p>
<p>I know.
anyway, it is possible to receive credit by examination?</p>
<p>I’m going to take a stab in the dark and say you went to DBHS?</p>
<p>Let me put it this way: if the class seems so easy, why not take it for an easy A? If you’re going into the engineering sciences, you’re going to want as many relevant fodder courses increasing your GPA anyway.</p>
<p>I know plenty of people that went to high schools known for math that did poorly in 20C, be it an overinflated ego, or they weren’t justly prepared in HS (I took 2 years of math classes that assumed a firm grasp of multivariate calculus in high school, was one of the top students, and still didn’t get an A+ in 20C).</p>
<p>Anyway, the math department is hard-pressed not to just allow incoming students to take the MATH20DEF courses without adequate preparation. No matter how much overlap or training you think your HS class provided you, there is a standard people have to meet. MATH20DEF only attracts students in the engineering, math, and quantitative physical sciences (and joint math/econ), so the level of competition is already heightened, and in classes where virtually 0 people get 100%s in the class, your grade is dependent on the curve. If you’re not used to an environment like that (which 20C provides a much easier starting point, since you’re also surrounded by Econ, Pre-Med, etc., students that may not be calculus geniuses), then you’re going to sink in the advances 20 series courses.</p>
<p>Thank for the input Oyama and I am from NJ.
I guess I ll take the easy A .
How big were the curve?
I just hope that I wont feel unmotivated in that class.</p>
<p>Does it matter if you are motivated or not?</p>
<p>After all, you said it will be an easy A.</p>
<p>I honestly don’t remember, but I remember passing was … 50% for a C- or something. Around 20% of the class got a D or an F that quarter. I had Shuichiro Takeda as my professor – no idea if he’s still at UCSD or not.</p>
<p>what major at UCSD do you guys suggest for someone hoping to study business/marketing in grad school? would communications+economics be best, or something else?</p>
<p>I just got accepted to UCSD off the waitlist. I am confused though because I thought we were finding out mid-May. Has everyone found out? And do waitlist rules still pertain? For example, accepting the offer within three days of acceptance, etc, etc. </p>
<p>And how have they already taken people off the waitlist?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>You’re talking about an MBA post-grad, right? If you’re interested in analytical, I’d probably do Joint Math/Econ. If you’re thinking about branding/consumer behavior, I’d do Psychology + Communications. If you’re thinking about Generalist, I’d do Economics and Psychology.</p>
<p>If you’re thinking a Ph.D., do Joint Math/Econ + Psychology.</p>
<p>I just got off the wait list and I’m excited to go to UCSD. I got in for Mathematics/Economics Major and I want to switch major into Structural engineering, but how difficult would it be?</p>
<p>Also if someone knows students in structural engineering or heard stories about how hard or easy or tips about it. It would be kindly appreciated. Thank you.</p>
<p>So I’m exempt from the math placement and the uc entry level writing requirement, but I still have to take the Chem and language placement exams. If I fail the chem placement, can I not take Chem 6A until I take the test again? Also would failing the foreign language placement greatly harm me?</p>
<p>^The chem placement test isn’t mandatory. It’s just to give you a rough idea on whether you should take Chem 6A or Chem 4. You’re perfectly allowed to sign up for Chem 6A without taking the placement test.</p>
<p>Hi, I hope someone can answer this. Sorry if it’s a repeat question… But, do you HAVE to be in Revelle college to be a pre-med student? When I applied to UCSD, i didn’t indicate that I wanted to be in the premed program, so i got put into a different college. Now, I’m for sure want to be in premed. But the only stuff I found on premed program was under Revelle college. Also, can we switch colleges?..Can someone clarify? Thanks >.<</p>
<p>You can be pre-med in any college.</p>
