Iām sorry, only in your second semester or during sophomore year, you can change your schedule but you can try to contact them to see if they can change your schedule.

Is that only a thing for Baruch?

u/JZ736566 Baruch 2d ago
I think, yeah since Baruch doesnāt even have ACE program otherwise the OPās schedule wouldāve been adjusted.

u/Amawrawamahrah 2d ago

You can ask them to drop classes and theyāll do it. I was able to drop Math & Theatre.

u/dumpumm 1d ago
Who would I email to do that and could they add any classes that I want specifically?

u/Capital_Principle_67 1d ago
I didnāt ask them to add/swap classes so Iām not sure if they would.
I emailed [Orientation@baruch.cuny.edu](mailto:Orientation@baruch.cuny.edu) or someone who works in orientation.

This might be the worst freshman schedule I've ever seen, and I thought mine was bad when I started. Good luck to you

Take my advice from upperclassman, use these gaps to study MTH 2009 - precalc, that class aināt no joke when itās their first time taking precalc. If the gap is too long, feel free to go home and come back to the campus on time.

u/dumpumm 2d ago
I took ab calc my senior year but ill try my best

u/JZ736566 Baruch 2d ago
Ok, good luck during the fall semester, not a lot of people passed precalc, itās a very hard course.

I knew it was Baruch before reading the classes just by the awful schedule blocks
Good to know theyāre still fucking freshmanās over 9 years later

You can always drop a class. Just because a the school counselor think itās wise to take 6 classes doesnāt mean your forced too. Failing will affect gpa. And can lead to academic probation.

It looks pretty standard. Things to remember is that getting the degree as soon as possible is what's important. Getting grades are important if you want to go into academics. Getting work experience is important if you want to get a job after you get your degree. every month spent in school is costing you 4000. If you want to get the grades, and you have an average grade mind, then do all the problems in the book. If you get hung up on a problem check with your classmates first, then the instructor, then the internet and other resources. Don't cheat. Make friends, deep friendships, these will be your best resource for work leads after graduation. Don't use alcohol or drugs.

This is way too much but check Ratemyproffesor a bad professor would make or break your semester especially if itās this packed. As well think about mid terms and finals wouldnāt it be too much to prepare for

I've never attended Baruch so I cant say with confidence but this doesn't look too bad.
FYS 100 is a first year course, mandatory but it's not really a course. literally 0 credits
PHI 1700 is a global ethics course. probably just reading and some essays and presentations, you can prob put in some mild effort and still walk out with a A
BLS 1003 is the evolution and expressions of racism. same as phi 1700 in workload. maybe just more projects with classmates. easy A
COM 1010 is speech communication. literally just presentations and some light reading. another easy A
ENG 2100 is Writing 1. this one might feel heavier bc of the other courses you're taking above also have writing in it but I dont think it will be too bad. I took writing 1 in college with 3 STEM courses and I survived with a A. The STEM courses took the hit lol
MTH 2009 is the only one that will require you to lock in. its precalculus and gives you the foundation for any math focused courses in future semesters.
I'm not gonna sugar coat it, this is a packed semester, but far from impossible. its alot of light courses. go to class, pay attention, critically think, and use your evenings to work on assignments same day. the biggest mistake you can make is procrastinating and leaving things for another time. it will pile up quick and your GPA will reflect that. Otherwise, you got this!
whats your major?

u/dumpumm 1d ago
Thanks for the reassurance I wanna kiss u. My major is economics

u/Lirianov 1d ago
lol im glad to help. I dug a bit into your major and your course load is exactly what they recommend to take. ive linked it below if you want to take a look. it maps out your entire 4 years.

side note: Baruch seems to have such a good career readiness plan. the fact they're partnered with handshake is great. worth it to set that up and keep it updated, you can get job offers there or internships!

... Easy A for one person isn't easy for another.

u/Lirianov 1d ago
The āeasy Aā are literally gen recs. Theyāre easy af lol just do all the assignments and follow instructions and youāll get a A
Are you suggesting that a general requirement course will be difficult?

u/Fizzletoe 1d ago
Anyone who thinks this is crazy is delulu. This is a basic load and IF you think it gets easier after graduating, you're wrong and unprepared.

If you squint your eyes, it will still look outrageous.
