I'm looking for some thoughts on this hard ugrad semester I'll be facing and I was wondering whether you would deem it as "manageable" or "unnecessary and excessive". I'm a rising sophomore with a 3.9+ gpa from mostly liberal arts, non math/ science classes
-Calculus 1 (Business requirement)
-Pre Med Physics (need for science requirement so I won't have to take 2 science classes)
-Financial Accounting
-Intermediate German
-Game Theory or Intermediate Microeconomics haven't decided yet
Adds up to 17-18 credits depending on whether I go for 3 or 4 credit German. Would you recommend cutting a class or so or do you feel that with some sacrifices here and there, that I would be able to get a 4.0? FYI I have NO idea what financial accounting or calculus entails as I never took intro courses in high school.
I wouldn't take game theory without taking some math that is harder than precalc.
It isn't legit game theory, my school has "game theory" split up into 2 courses. One is the non quantitative one (what I'm thinking of taking) and the other one is the very math heavy one for the econ majors actually interested in econ (and not banking). Sorry should have made that clear in my initial post.
5 courses is pretty standard. Good luck.
I'm sure you can handle Calculus and Physics with the help of MIT OCW. Get started early and you shouldn't have an issue when you see the content for the 2nd or 3rd time during lecture.
What if I'm planning on doing a fall internship concurrently?
If you can throw in 30 minutes of OCW lectures during the weekend, you can cover 1 lecture, which will help you more than you think. Download all OCW lectures that are relevant (ask professors for syllabus to prepare ahead of time) and play them at 2x speed. Calculus lectures are usually 1 hour regular playtime. I'm sure you can spare 30 minutes somewhere.
How many hours have you completed already? If you came in with a decent number of AP credits, I'd try to take ~15 instead of 17-18. Especially if you're planning on doing a fall internship.
Would it be dumb to cut financial accounting and to take it spring semester? It's notoriously hard at my school but if I do that, then I won't be able to take managerial before my next summer internship
Why would you cut that one before the others? Managerial accounting probably wouldn't help you any in an internship though.
The professor for it is really tough and expects a massive amount of effort on unrelated things/hoop jumping in order to get an A- or an A. The professor for second semester won't be as nearly difficult and I've heard that only financial accounting is necessary for banking.
