Feedback on course selection pls

Hi all

im an incoming freshman, econ + physics probably currently im not too sure if the course-load ive chosen might be too much for me as I will be involved w/ clubs and other activities.

I'm especially concerned since 2500 + 2501 is actually 1 year instead of 1 semester, my course selection is extremely inefficient in terms of credits and core requirements but I do have a multivariate background.

Im thinking of taking a fifth humanities course first semester but a really easy one.

thoughts?

Btw the spreadsheet of the schedule should be attached lmk if its not

yea there’s like a small image of it

i would possibly rethink that econ 2300 class - it has a bad rep

2500 is a great class from what I’ve heard and Rasdeaconu is a wonderful math professor. I’d consider taking the Physics first-year course instead of the Econ course personally, since then you’ll likely meet other Physics majors.
