Excellent advice from socal for how to choose your freshman yr courses.

Extremely important: find a way to get to know 2 profs, because you will need 2 prof (college, not hs) recommendations for many transfer apps. In a large schools, this can be a challenge. So focus on it from the beginning. If you are able to take any kind of freshman seminar, that will help. I fyou are in honors, that may help. If you are in huge courses, ask questions if possible; go to office hours. As a last resort, get to know TA’s well as a collaborated rec between TA/prof is acceptable at many schools.
