One of my classes ends at 12 pm and another starts at 12 pm. The one that ends at 12 pm is a FYS and the one that starts at 12 pm is a language discussion session. They're about a 10 minute walk from one another. Is the 7 minute rule still a thing? Should I just switch my classes up? If so, which should I give up? I don't need the language credit, but I'd like to improve my proficiency, and I don't plan on majoring in the seminar's subject, but I am eager to explore it.

I'm an incoming college freshman at a T5, and while running my mom through my first semester's course load full of humanities classes, she started freaking out about whether or not I'm going to be able to get a job after graduation. Now, I've always been interested in going to law school because I feel like I'd genuinely enjoy the ways it'd challenge me, and I know that you can study whatever you want as an undergraduate and get into law school, but it doesn't seem like lawyers who do the work I'd genuinely be interested in (public interest) make much money at all. I don't need to be rich, but I definitely want to make enough so I don't have to worry about money and so I can be generous with my loved ones. I'm someone who would be interested in litigation anyways, but everyone keeps telling me that AI is going to render me jobless. My mom wants me to be a doctor, and while I believe that I can find fulfillment in the day-to-day lifestyle of working in medicine (I love working with people and psychology), I feel like I'm going to HATE the path it takes to get there (not bad at science, but I suck at math and find chemistry, orgo, and physics SO BORING). Course registration ends really soon, and I know that being pre-med would require me to enroll in certain science classes ASAP. I'd really appreciate some career guidance on if I should just bite the bullet and pursue a career in medicine, or if I should just take the interesting and niche humanities classes that interest me and eventually apply to law school (and hope I land a T14), or if I should entertain some combination of both.

If you were waitlisted for a pre-o, when can you expect to find out the final decision? Has anyone on the wl for a pre-o already heard back? I'm specifically interested in FUP.
