<p>has anyone selected their classes yet?</p>
<p>Don’t rent a bike for $300! That’s WAY too much! You can buy a bike for much, much less.</p>
<p>lol, bikes aren’t less than 300$. At least not good ones. and I don’t feel like shipping a bike back and forth, haha.</p>
<p>You can buy a bike for $80 at Target. The cheaper the bike, the less likely it’ll get stolen…</p>
<p>Better sign up for your first-choice classes soon. I postponed my class registration, so I got a different course than I originally wanted, but I ended up LOVING my all of my classes (human physiology, abnormal psychology, and american history in film since WWII). You basically can’t go wrong with anything. I don’t know what the classes are this year, but last year Social Psychology filled up quickly.</p>
<p>Mmm, social psych. The boy treats his textbook like it’s a freaking sacred text, but that’s nothing to how he is about the stuff from last summer’s Eros and Religion class.</p>
<p>When I’m on Axess, what am I supposed to select?
Credit/No Credit… or Grade?(when adding a class)</p>
<p>It depends on what you want. Do you want the class to be pass/fail (credit/no credit) or do you want to get a letter grade? I would strongly suggest letter grade.</p>
<p>Anyone else going this year wanna talk about it? I’m excited, haha</p>
<p>What classes are you going to take? I’m going to take Social Psych</p>
<p>Oh gosh, I’m an international student and I can’t sign up for classes until I’m physically there. Rawr.</p>
<p>Hey you guys! I’ve also been accepted to this program, and I was wondering if this looks good on the application when I apply this fall. Will this program give me a distinct advantage?</p>
<p>I’ve heard it doesn’t, but you should go anyway. I’m goingggg WOO.</p>
<p>It doesn’t help much on the application, but it shows the adcoms that you are willing to challenge yourself.</p>
<p>isn’t sumac (math program) more prestigious and competitive?</p>
<p>sumac accepts about 30% of applicants</p>
<p>there are a little under 40 students/year, about half rising juniors half rising seniors</p>
<p>there are 9 stanford freshman who did the program my year (there’s also one at brown, one at yale, a couple at harvard, a couple at mit, etc.)</p>
<p>Do the units indicate a course’s general level of difficulty? I’m interested in taking Nobel Literature under Comparative Literature, but it’s listed as 5 units. I feel a little intimidated since most of the other courses are only 3 or 4 units. Has anyone taken this course or recommend it to a high school junior?</p>
<p>a question about axess</p>
<p>is the information that guests can see on axess, specifically the availabilty of classes… the same as for registered users?</p>
<p>I was accepted to the program(or so I’m told… by email.) but I haven’t gotten my package yet and I wonder if’ll I’ll be missing out on the classes I want because its not here yet(some hold up about tax forms they supposedly didnt get.)</p>
<p>are the following classes still available?</p>
<p>1138
CS 106X
Programming Methodology and Abstractions (Accelerated)</p>
<p>1278,1279
MATH 19
Calculus</p>
<p>hopefully i’ll recieve the letter soon(like tommorow. xD)</p>
<p>Units (in theory) indicate the amount of work you need to do for a particular course. In theory it is 2-3 hours/unit/week of homework for each class outside of lectures. Some of the especially difficult freshman courses (like chem, physics, PWR to an extent, at least in terms of workload) are only 4 units. There’s really no way to tell how much work you’ll have just from the number of units. Some 3 unit classes are much more work than 5 unit classes. (If a class is only 1 or 2 units it should be much less work than a 3-5 unit class… but I’ve heard stories of 1 unit classes that take 10 hours/week of work, so you never know!)</p>
<p>Hmm, that’s odd.
I received the packet in the mail but nothing by e-mail.
Now I’m just waiting on my ID number.</p>
