Agreed, Andrizzle.

I’m a big proponent of having your major prereqs done by the end of the Fall you apply, especially if you have a mediocre GPA. You need to show them you’re ready for upper division courses, and all A’s goes a long way. One B with the remaining three “planned” for Spring won’t automatically disqualify you, but it would help if they could see your capabilities when making their decision.

Leave Spring for the courses that have little relevance to your major and aren’t your required math or English classes. For liberal arts majors, that means using Spring for your art classes, your science classes, and any electives.
