If any CAP/FYS (first year seminars) courses interest your daughter, she should enter the lottery for them. She’s likely to get one of her choices, especially if she lists four or five that she’s willing to take. If she gets to campus and decides she’d rather not take the class she got into through the lottery, she can always drop it or try to switch into another FYS/CAP. For example, I entered the lottery for a CAP class but then decided not to take it for logistical reasons. My advisor and Meiklejohn (student peer advisor) also gave me useful input when choosing courses. Bottom line: it’s confusing, but people will always be ready to help you!

I’ll actually be a Meiklejohn next year, so if you have any questions about courses/course selection/orientation, feel free to PM me or respond on this thread!
