<p>this is last year’s profile of admitted students. Only one person applied for Latin but got denied because they only had 23 units completed. I’m pretty sure you have at least 60 units completed right?</p>
<p>To me, the only challenging courses there are Diff. Equations and Calc III. I found Music Theory incredibly easy when I took it (probably because I had prior knowledge of the material and was just taking it for an easy A, though if you’ve never had musical training before, it’d probably be a challenge for you). </p>
<p>I wouldn’t recommend adding another course unless you feel you can balance all those courses well–after all, that’s 5 classes you’re taking.</p>
<p>Also, you guys think it’s necessary to TAP for UCB and UCLA for Latin? I have looked at the past data for UCLA, (not sure about UCB) and it seems like if you have enough credits and a gpa above a 3.3-3.4, it’s pretty much a green light for Latin. </p>
<p>I’m asking because I don’t want to have to pay for more courses just for a boost that seems only significant for impacted major applicants.</p>
<p>DiffEq isn’t terrible, especially if you’re good with your integrals, but Calc 3 has the possibility of giving you a good butt kicking depending on the teacher. The others I dunno, but I’d suggest not adding any more classes unless you really really must.</p>
<p>Some people get lucky to have an easy time with it (amazing lecturers and books, I suppose). My calc 3 (multivariable, right?) class was taught by a guy that was really nice and his lectures/tests were OK - the lecturer from MIT was probably only slightly better. Our book was difficult, but the combination yielded for 1/3 of the class remaining at the end of the semester. A class that started off with people standing in the back row!</p>
<p>lmao wait are you being serious about this? I agree that 3/5 of the classes you listed are a joke and the other two (math) are typical classes that plenty of students take simultaneously with MUCH harder additional classes. </p>
<p>Why you would be taking the higher level lower division math is beyond me since you’re a Latin major… You do realize the employment outlook for this major, correct? Or are you trying to switch into a different major once you are accepted? Like econ but think you have a better chance at applying as a bs (no offense) major?</p>
<p>I get the feeling that you’re leaving out some details.</p>
<p>Whoah, where’s this hostility coming from killmyentourage, just trying to gauge the difficulty of my schedule. </p>
<p>Admittedly, I may plan on switching my major, to applied mathematics-economics. I was considering adding linear algebra however from the responses above it’s debatable if it’s a good choice to add another course. </p>
<p>TBQH, i don’t really see the problem in getting in with another major, with a subject i am actually interested in, and switching if i decide it’s not for me. </p>
<p>Come at me if you have any qualms about it.</p>
