No AP/IB credits incoming first year
As the title suggests, I have no AP or IB credits to use in place of first year requirements. My school doesn’t offer any AP classes, and I never went out of my way to self study for any. It seems like everyone has some credits to use and now I feel like I’m at a disadvantage lol. Does anyone have tips for balancing a full course load first year and maintaining a high gpa… I want to get into elec if possible.
Also, as for wrds and humanities electives, are there any really good wrds profs I should try to get as a gpa booster (and also not too much workload). I also heard some people saying an engl course is better than wrds, is this true? Then for humanities, if anyone has recommendations for chill courses to take, preferably not too much work and easy to get high mark.
Also, do people typically join design teams in first year? I heard it’s a lot of time commitment and I don’t know if it’s realistic to be able to manage it with all my classes, but I do want to get involved. Or if there’s any other ways to get involved thats not design teams?
Thanks!!!
