Yale University (2024-2025)

[dusky bough]

idk

I know for english classes the freshman seminars start with 0 (?)

but then again ig if a class has no prereqs its open to freshmen

[latent mulch]

what r ur goals

[dusky bough]

good question

Idk

i think i want to study either s&ds or applied math

[latent mulch]

lol u can change it whenever it doesn't matter. i know people who changed their major senior year

[latent mulch]

i didnt take either (i came in knowing multi... nerd). MATH 120 is very much professor dependent, try and get andrew yarmola or maria sisaki. ENAS 151 is more consistent (average-ish) and much more application-y, but it isn't good prep if you want to take further classes along, especially in the math dept.

some notes:

• 108 s&ds is a half credit second semester course, prob meant to be taken with 109. honestly, if you did well in ap stats you can just skip to 230 and you'll be fine.
• cpsc 1001 is probably fine. i think tim is teaching it and he's lowkey kinda boring but yknow. don't cheat.
• don't take a 9am that you need to go to

[latent mulch]

(tim barron will rain hellfire upon you if you cheat in his class. he will find you and kill you. believe me.)

[latent mulch]

freshman seminars are always 0-numbered

[dusky bough]

ok sounds good i think i will do 120

[latent mulch]

also you can see a list of them on courses.yale.edu

[dusky bough]

my only weird thing is my school doesnt actually have aps

so our stats class is weird

i think we covered all of the ap stats content

[latent mulch]

click the first year seminar button on the left, under "yale college attributes"

[dusky bough]

and then in the spring we did regression, anova, etc. so i dont know how much i will remember from the normal ap stats curriculum

like could i take 1080 without taking 1090? or no

[latent mulch]

oh yeah you could

for sure

just pointing it out

tbh having a lighter first half of the semester might help with settling in

[dusky bough]

das what i was thinking

and i feel like my courseload wont be super horrible

i should probably move the 9 am tho

for course reg do ppl usually get the classes they want? or is it hard

[latent mulch]

its on the heavy end (5 credits, right?)

[dusky bough]

4.5

[latent mulch]

french is 1.5

[dusky bough]

Wtf

bruh

[latent mulch]

oh huh its 1

normally languages are 1.5

ig cause its only twice a week

[dusky bough]

Idk what level french im gna take any way/if i will even take french first sem

I think ill place in l5 but i didnt take any french sr year so

But also ive only heard bad things about french at yale

[latent mulch]

french l1-l4 are 1.5 credits

b/c they are m-f

[dusky bough]

Bruh

Ok so now i should prob put effort into placing in l5

I feel like it cant be that hard tho

I talked to the french lady at teh academic fair and she was very sweet

[latent mulch]

by far the best yale course review

[dusky bough]

Im fluent in french tho

[dusky bough]

which is why i have hope

[latent mulch]

what an incredible line

[dusky bough]

See i havent heard a single good thing about yale french

Why is it so bad

[latent mulch]

just very intense

lots of work

other languages are far easier, though you obviously learn less i suppose

another banger (review of object oriented programming)

you can take them yeah

definitely not freshman year, you can't credit/d them as easily

but MGT (SOM) classes are generally easy so long as you show up

basically guaranteed a good grade

[dusky bough]

ok i looked thru the frosh seminars and a lot of them r cool and i did some swapping

i like this schedule a lot but i lowk dont wanna take a sciencey writing class

Like it would prob be helpful

but like i wanna just take a normal writing class

[dusky bough]

this is nice too

[fervent locust]

LMAO😭

[slender whale]

I wouldn’t shy away from MATH 120 9am bc you’re not graded on attendance/participation so it shouldn’t ever have to block off a valuable timeslot another class could occupy

[weak lotus]

im crying😭

[loud jackal]

Where do u find these 😭😭

[latent mulch]

they come to me in my dreams

but they're just random reviews on coursetable ive seen lol

i have a spreadsheet of all course reviews going back like a decade (for a nlp project) so i sometimes just scroll the longest and find them too

[dusky bough]

eek
