<p>I’m a freshman considering to apply for some of the most selective universities. I take math20A(calculus,4 units), chem6a(general chemistry 4 units), required college writing(4 units), microeconomics(4 units) for my 1st quater. Are they “rigorous” enough? Do I need to add a 4-unit computer science or change chemistry to honors class? Will it influence my application much?</p>
<p>What are ususally considered as “lightweight courses”?</p>
<p>Your schedule looks good. “Lightweight” classes could possibly include: yoga 101, beginning ballet, “study skills”, etc. I’m not saying that the classes are totally pointless, but they would have less impact on adcom than the ones you’re taking.</p>
