Transferred to UBC engineering

In summary, the conversation is about a student transferring to UBC engineering and needing to complete two first year courses (chem 154 and apsc 150) while completing their degree. The student plans to take chem 154 in their second year and apsc 150 in their third year. They are asking if this plan will work and thanking the other person for their input. The other person suggests talking to an academic counsellor for more information and mentions the possibility of a heavy course load. The student also shares their timetable and expresses their confidence in the other person's advice, to which they respond with a joke about their past experience as an ensci student.

Hi

I transferred to UBC engineering, and I need to completed two first year courses (chem 154 and apsc 150) while completing my degree.
I am planning to take chem 154 in my second year while finishing apsc 201 over the summer.
And also take apsc 150 in third year since I already have a transfer credit for a elective.


Will that work out?


thank you for the input!

You really should at least link information for these course. Unless someone on here is from UBC engineering, you are unlikely to get any helpful results. Along with this, it is probably best to ask your academic counsellor these questions (that is what they are there for!) as they would know this sort of stuff inside and out.

All I can say is, APSC150 sounds to me like an engineering design course (?). If that is the case, I feel like you would need to complete it before APSC201, which seems to be a logical follow up.

Assuming these courses aren't necessary prereqs for anything, you should be able to take them whenever as long as you can manage the additional courseload.

You will be fine. I have had plenty of 9 hour days in my engineering degree. And some 10, 11 hour days too.

It is exhausting, but easily doable.

Haha, don't count on me too much. Best to talk to an academic counsellor.

I see you were a ensci student, right?
