<p>can I put postpone the GE course to like junior or senior year? I want to keep my first quarter to only 3 courses…so is this normal? And what if I change my major when I meet with advising in September…would I be stuck with bad course times + bad professors?</p>
<p>iran, your excessive questions have been answered in previous threads. but to reiterate what was said before, yes, you can postpone them. yes, you can take 3 classes. i did that fall quarter last year. if you know what major you’re changing into, take the classes that correspond to that major and change the major officially during welcome week. your class choices are not limited by what major you choose. i believe you said you wanted to change from a chem to a bio major. the only difference in your schedule would probably be whether or not you want to take the 20 series or the 10 series math since for bio majors, it doesn’t matter.</p>
<p>what if i go from chem major to political science?</p>
<p>you can shoot the academic advisor an email (go to vac.ucsd.edu, login and submit the question) and he/she will reply in a few days, sometimes as little as one day. your schedule would probably look something like:</p>

poli sci class
a GE</p>
<p>here is some useful stuff:
a link to the poli sci major with every requirement you wanted

<p>try to plan it yourself. college isn’t about handholding.</p>
<p>Take classes that correspond to your intended major. That’s final.</p>
<p>I have a question regarding my major and the possibility of me entering dental school in the future. I am a declared chemistry major, but I would like to know what is the best major to fufill the dental school requirements the fastest and the most efficiently. On the other hand, I feel like majoring in either biology or chemistry overprepares me for dental school by making me take classes that I don’t necessarily need. In this case, would it be better for me to major in something that truly interest me (like Political Science) and then just take the pre-dental courses or should I just major in a science to begin with? Hope that doesn’t confuse you.</p>
<p>It’s always better to major in something that truly interests you. Period. You’ll do better and be much happier. Why pay 20,000 a year for four years to suffer through a major that you hate, with no guarantees of getting into dental school afterwards? Yeah, if you become a political science major you’ll have to take extra classes to full-fill those pre-dental requirements. But you won’t be miserable. Med schools (and I’m assuming dental schools as well) don’t care what your major is.</p>
<p>If you received your “recommended course schedule”, I suggest you speak with the advisor who sent you that for your questions about classes. Forum members can’t give very accurate answers because many factors affect your individual position…year, college, major, ap classes, etc… Ask your advisor online! They give very quick answers.</p>
<p>Yea i asked my advisor online and they responded in approximately 24 hours. it was pretty quick.</p>
