<p>As for highschool, i didnt take any physics but i have gotten As in all most all my math classes, including college, and it is one of my favorite subjects. So as far my fall schedule goes, I do believe i can handle the load of physics, and the math classes, and i might even drop CS37 to ease the load. I wouldnt mind a B i one of the classes, I’m not a freak about my GPA. I do my math hw in our math center where there is math tutors and physic tutors, so help is always readily at hand. </p>
<p>For computer classes, i have so far completed C programming, and will complete Java this summer with all As. I do have a background with computers but i wouldn’t say a coding background, more general like putting computers together, networking, ect… I do part time work for two offices, where i maintain their databases and resolve any computer related issues, like an IT tech i’d guess, but not as advanced. </p>
<p>With that said, what i am settling on is to take physics and two math classes in fall, with MAYBE C++, and i am taking them with some of the best teachers available so that should help. My plan is to go with the listed fall and spring schedule and apply mainly to berkeley EECS, maybe UCI…ect, and plan B is to wait another year, complete more classes like the ones you listed such as discrete math, assembly languages…ect to really give me an edge even though the classes may not count as credit. </p>
<p>thoughts? is it worth the risk of taking 3 core classes? originally i had planned everything over a 3 year span and everything was more spaced out, but i feel like getting two shots at admission sounds better right? ill apply this year, and if i dont get in reapply next year along with other UCs such as UCI UCLA…ect</p>
<p>& any E.C. activities you recommend?</p>
<p>thank you for the help!</p>

<p>edit: one more thing, i was planning on taking data structures for partial credit for 61B, and for completion to finish CS 47B at berkeley, however fullerton college offers a data strcutures class that is fully counted at 61B, do you think its worth the commute (about 20 mins without traffic) to take it there rather than just taking it here and finishing CS 47B at berkeley? i do understand CS 47B is a 1 unit class, it should be easy correct?</p>
