<p>I agree with the calculus recommendation.
Later on, WPI will give you a link to the “DESIGNS” website that help freshman choose their first year courses. It has specific advice based on your major. You can go there now, but it will show advice for the C/D terms for this year’s freshmen. [Office</a> of Academic Advising - Designs for C and D terms course selection](<a href=“http://www.wpi.edu/Admin/OAA/Designs2/index.html]Office”>http://www.wpi.edu/Admin/OAA/Designs2/index.html)</p>
<p>Another thing you can do is start going through the class materials for the introductory CS course CS 1101 [CS</a> 1101 Aterm 12](<a href=“http://web.cs.wpi.edu/~cs1101/a12/]CS”>CS 1101 Aterm 12)
NOTE: There is no guarantee that next year’s professor or course syllabus or course materials will be the same!!! But it wouldn’t hurt to start with this anyway.
They advise students to expect an adjustment so don’t load up your first two terms with hardcore math/science/engineering courses. Try to balance the load with some humanities, arts or social sciences. You need to take some of those anyway.
Invest some time in learning about the degree requirements too.</p>
