Hi! I’ve got an offer for the program that’ll start in Fall, but I have to complete 3 prerequisites (ECON 1001 and 1002 and PSCI 2003) and have a few questions:
1. They recommend I complete the prerequisites before Fall 2023, so I’ll have to do them in Summer term. I have 2 months before summer courses start. Would it be possible for me to postpone and do only the prerequisites in Fall instead of Summer and then start the program in Winter 2024?
2. I know I can do the prerequisites on any university, but I’d like to do them at Carleton. 2 of those prerequisites are available in Summer, but one (PSCI 2003) is not. Any suggestions If I want to complete all 3 in Summer? Or maybe I should complete the Econ prerequisites in summer and then complete the PSCI one in fall or winter terms?
3. You said you don’t recommends taking 2 Econ courses at the same time. I’m not much of a math enthusiast either, so, do you think taking these 2 in summer would be too much?
4. Would you recommended doing 3 courses per term? Maybe fall term 2 courses + the PSCI prerequisite and then in winter term 3 courses? I don’t want to overwhelm myself at first going for 4 courses. Later on, sure, I could probably go for 4 courses, but I’d rather be cautious at first.
TIA!
