computergeek173- I just wanted to say as a fellow incoming Rice 2014-er that I really think you shouldn’t worry about classes right now. Also, while you have taken some college-level classes, I think that freshman year shouldn’t just be about academics. Do you really want to have to study 24/7 your first semester freshman year? While academics ARE very important, I’m planning on taking 15ish hours the first semester with a few “easier” courses and taking time out to meet new people, get involved on campus, and possibly get a job or research position. I’m a believer that just as much learning takes place outside the classroom as does inside so I want to set some time aside to just live. Also, if I were you I would take some physics, but also take a random history class or english class and expose yourself to new areas of study…anyway, all of this is irrelevant because you should wait until O-week to even worry about this kind of stuff. Good luck to you, and I hope everything works out :)
