<p>you need to look at all of the prerequisites, and assume that you bombed your IB test and will have to take everything. then mark when each class is offered (fall/spring - check out the COD and it has detailed explanations) and see how much flexibility your schedule has. If you get your IB scores before orientation, then you can take that into account as well (same applies to AP). Then you will know what you should try to get into first semester. If you can’t get in at orientation, like I’ve said before, DON’T WORRY, because ISIS opens up for switching in early August and if you still can’t get into something then, wait for the 1st week of classes when there is class shopping here and you are bound to either get in through ISIS or use a “course action form” which is when the professor signs a form that lets you into the class even if there isn’t room on ISIS. Really you will be able to get into what you want/need, the professors understand and will try their best to let you in their class. :)</p>
