Hum10 just informed me of my writing lab slot yesterday, and unfortunately, it conflicts with another class. This wasn’t on MyHarvard during registration so unfortunately, I couldn’t have anticipated this. For former Hum10 students: in previous years, were there multiple writing lab times, or just one?

Too many of the seminars look interesting to me, but I wanted to know how to many first year seminars I should apply to get into one. The website says 6, but some people in the past said 3 should suffice to get into one. What has previously worked for you?

Fall:

Hum 10a

Math 22a

Ec50

FYS

Spring:

Hum 10b

Math 22b

Gov 20

GenEd (Sandel or Greene)

I'm interested in the following potential concentrations: Social Studies (definitely), Economics, Applied Math, Philosophy, Government.

Questions:

1. If Econ/AM is a potential route, should I take Math 21 or Math 22?
2. I got 5s on both AP Econs, but it's been two years and I haven't retained all the content. However, I also do economics research on the side. Is it fine to take Ec50 in the fall and then Gov 20 in the spring to get a variety, or should I just take Ec10?
3. I placed out of the language req but would like to learn French. For those who take a language currently, did you take one language course each semester, or was it on and off?
4. Is this schedule too time-consuming for my first year, even with the FYS/Gen-Ed?

I'd greatly appreciate any advice. Thank you, everyone!
