17 hours too much for a freshman?

<p>I feel like I need the Math 110 though, I do not have a good math foundation from HS. Once I take the Math 110 this semester I will take the 130 (Pre-cal) and the Chem in the Spring. However I am going to try and drop the FYS and pick up the Econ.</p>

22

<p>^ If you really think you need the review, then take 110, but are you sure taking Pre-Cal and Chem in the same semester is a good idea? (I’m assuming you haven’t taken pre-cal or calculus) It seems like it’d be a very heavy course load Spring term.</p>

23

<p>I have taken pre-cal, I think I will be able to handle both the Math and the Chem, if not then I have no business as a Bio major or on the Pre-pharm track. : /</p>

24

<p>^ Pre-Calc and Chem in the same semester isn’t very hard unless the person doing it is absolutely terrible at math and/or science. I’ve actually never met anyone who’s done that combo since everyone I know did Calc [or Calc II or Vector Calc] with Chem, which you’d think would be a bigger load.</p>

<p>Opinions?</p>

<p>I’m of the opinion that you should be taking that chemistry 101 course so that you can get started on your biology and chemistry sequences next semester, but I guess the econ can’t hurt, especially if you are still toying with the idea of not going to pharmacy school. Also, your Tuesdays are going to suck.</p>

27

<p>I can’t take the Chem til I take the math 110, I have credit for bio 101 but I can’t take the next bio course until I take the chem.</p>

28

<p>I would be so sad if I had 3 classes every day :(</p>

29

<p>Just sign up for as many classes as you are allowed to and then drop some of the classes until you find a balanced schedule (make sure to stay above the minimum requirement though!). For example, if you must have at least 12 units (4 classes) but the maximum is 18 units (6 classes), sign up for 18 units, and if it’s too much drop the 1 or 2 classes that you like the least so that your load is lighter but you still have the minimum of 12 units</p>

<p>Negative…</p>

<p>17 hours can be tough, but the classes you are taking look rather easy, so no not too much</p>
