Taking classes in relation to major interest

@mundyt College courses contribute to course rigor, so they will help your application. However, remember that the grade you get will be figured into your GPA by colleges. (And for non-UC/CSUs you should plan to send them a transcript.)

From your other posts, it looks like you are in California. Summer classes after junior year will be figured into your UC GPA. In fact, each community or UC/CSU college class counts as 2 semesters (if it is 4 or more units, I believe). So, be sure that you can get an A in these classes.

It sounds like your summer class plan is:

– Multivariable Calc
– Physics E&M
– Intro to Circuits
– EE-related summer project in a university lab

That is far too much! Summer classes are typically condensed to a 6-week quarter and even the 10-week UC quarters will be very fast compared to your high school semesters.

I would recommend either one of those classes and the EE-related project or
2 classes (but don’t take both multivariable and E&M in summer).

If you decide to go with the Intro to Circuits class, make sure it is UC transferable. I’m pretty sure the others would transfer.

As an EE major, I expect you would need to take an E&M class that uses multivariable calculus. I don’t know if this one will. If so, I wouldn’t recommend taking E&M without having first taken multivariable.
