Today is class registration. Right now i'm having a problem debating whether to register for the philosophy class, ethics, or intro to psych. BTw i'm majoring in neuroscience.

here's my schedule

these are the two classes i'm debating over. Please also note that i do not live on campus, it's a 20 min drive at regular times. The college is tulane and i live in the suburb. BTW i plan to major in neuroscience which requires psych 100. The thing is though the class is at 9:30 and traffic from 7-9 is pretty congested.

18565 PHIL-103-01 ETHICS 3.0 LEC ANOMALY, J.
MWF 2:00PM- 2:50PM

19234 PSYC-100-02 INTRODUCTORY PSYCH 3.0 LEC EDWARDS, B.
TR 9:30AM-10:45AM
 
If you don't plan on taking psych or sociology in the future, do it now. A good number of schools (explained in the MSAR) require either an intro. sociology, or psychology class. 👍

If not, I'd go for the Philosophy class. The sooner you learn to Bull****, the better your GPA will be in undergrad. 👍 😀
 
Would it help to take a class that's kind to your GPA?

Yes, but AdComs can recognize trends, so I wouldn't make it a habitual thing.

If done overboard with the 'GPA class padding'. It can show up as a negative in some AdComs perverbial eyes.
 
nice...no classes before 10. I like that. My sched is gonna be the same deal i thin cept no calc 1 as i finished all my calc crap last year(transfer student, did engineering a year). I just dunno what to do for a humanities class and if i should take 18 credits or not.
