<p>Thanks so much for the replies! I’m currently taking cs188 so I won’t have to worry about trying to get into that class next semester. </p>
<p>From what I gather, people in the cs department really prioritize classes by teacher? I thought people would just take whatever class they wanted regardless of the teacher. </p>
<p>Sorry I have to ask again just for my own paranoia:
Assuming Rao and Stoica are teaching cs170 and cs162 next semester, do you think my chances of getting into cs170 and cs162 next fall are high enough for me to risk my last chance of completing my minor on them? Basically whatever two classes I add in phase I are the two classes I have to get into for my minor. I don’t imagine getting into any upper div cs courses in phase II with only minor priority. </p>
<p>If you don’t think I’ll be able to get into 170 or 162, what two classes am I most likely to get into? From what you guys said it sounds like the answer is 164 and 150. Unfortunately I didn’t have time to take eecs42 or math54 since its not required for the minor and I decided on minoring rather late so I’ve been just trying to get through the 61 series while completing my major. That unfortunately lessens the class’s I can take too. I’m no hacker by any means but I guess if I’m most likely to get Into 164 I may have to add it. (Side question: how is language and compilers related to hacking?) I took 61B with hilfinger last semester and it was butt loads of work. </p>
<p>I’m actually staying for the fall semester just in HOPES of completing my minor. Otherwise I could be graduating after this spring. So I want to add two classes that I’m sure ill get into and I guess I have to deprioritize my interests. I’m not really interested in something like languages and compilers but ill take it if I must to get my minor. </p>
<p>Do you really think I can get into any class other than 188 and 186?</p>
<p>Thanks again for the replies, especially sparkyboy.</p>
