What do you think of my schedule for fall 2013?

[xdrgnh]

Electricity and Magnetism 1-Griffith level
Quantum Mechanics-1 Griffith
Mathematical Physics II topics are mostly PDE's and complex Analysis
And either Solid State physics or intro to Cosmology. Both classes are senior or junior level

Do you guys think this is a decent schedule for a junior who is a physics major?

Yep, sounds about standard! Good luck!

How can you take Solid without having taken any QM? I am currently taking Solid State after a year of QM on Griffiths+some Shankar level and still find it a rather difficult subject.

This is true, solid state is a 3-4 year split with chemistry and physics at my university. You must have taken some QM if you wish to get an understanding of the subject.

I think your schedule for fall 2013 looks well-rounded and challenging. Electricity and Magnetism and Quantum Mechanics are fundamental courses in physics and it's great that you are taking them at a higher level with Griffith. Mathematical Physics II also seems like a valuable course, as it covers important topics in PDE's and complex analysis that are essential for understanding many areas of physics. I think it's commendable that you are considering taking either Solid State Physics or Intro to Cosmology, as both are fascinating and important areas of study. Overall, I believe this is a strong schedule for a junior physics major and I wish you the best of luck in your studies.
