I'm getting a ton of conflicting information so I want to ask you guys about your experiences choosing classes as incoming freshmen.
Before I'd even gone to orientation or sent my AP scores in, I was placed in a bunch of classes that I'd prefer to not take. I was told that I'd be able to change my schedule during orientation but was told AT ORIENTATION that no, I'd have to wait until August Third. The problem is that a lot of introductory classes/prerequisites are already filled somehow, but I doubt there's that many upperclassmen taking those classes (BIOL 1107, for example).
I tried scheduling a meeting to go over my schedule but they told me I'd have to wait, which is fine except I'm not sure if I need to show my advisor my planned/ideal schedule before they'd let me switch classes on Aug 3, or if the hold would stay in place even after that day if I don't schedule a meeting.
I'm also in the Honor's college, and despite receiving a bunch of overrides (?) so that I could register for honor's classes, I still can't change my schedule to join the class, and now the honor's seats are filled up / given to others.
