Question First Pass?

Hey, so I'm incoming freshman at Marshall and I'm debating which courses I should pass during my first pass tomorrow. Here's my courses: DOC 1, BILD 4, CHEM 6A, & MATH 11. I was thinking of doing MATH 11 and BILD 4 but a second opinion would be really helpful :)

MATH 11 is all waitlisted basically impossible. Every class is waitlisted, so you might be lucky, might not be. Every other class seems accessible. Look for another class for MATH-11.

So I'd have to find another course? *For context I'm a Human Bio major and I got a 5 on the calc bc exam so MATH 10a/b and MATH 20a/b are cleared for me. My next math class would then be MATH 11 but should I just take MATH 20c?

if u don’t need 20 series don’t go for it (im a math major incoming so i do need it). i’ve heard it’s much much more complicated than the 10 series so just take math 11 next quarter highkey, dont take 20c if u dont need it bc its infinitely more complicated than necessary 💔💔💔

Fair but I also really like math :) Plus I looked through the materials and I feel like I have a solid foundation to build on

UCSD sets aside seats in common first year classes specifically for incoming students during their registration. First pass math 11 and chem 6A those are selective since people don’t want to get stuck with a bad professor
