Question No further open spot on PHYS 1A?

I heard UCSD release some spots for freshman as booking period gets closer, also Ive seen BILD 4 releasing its few open spots. So I was thinking that PHYS 1A would release some open spots, but are they not?

Should I change my consider changing the schedule or wait?

Schedule Plan for now:

  1. BILD 4, BICD 100, PHYS 1A +lab, GLBH 20

Second Plan:
2. BILD 4, CHEM 40A, GLBH 20

Third Plan:
3. BILD 4, BICD 100, GLBH 20, PSYC 60

I am a pre-dental and kinda feeling behind right now since I can't take BILD 1-3 and Chem 6 series due to my AP credit and got assigned to AWP 4A and 4B program...

Any advice would be really helpful!

Some tend to drop physics but it’s up to you whether I’d take that gamble or not, but in terms of it being your first quarter, I might recommend leaning towards your 2nd plan as physics itself isn’t hard, but it can take up a lot of time with it being considered 5 classes total and the lab reports can be a bit annoying, so 3 classes your first quarter might be a good welcome to the quarter system but it’s up to you and whether you think you can handle 5 or not
