<p>Hai guise.</p>
<p>What does this mean exactly?</p>
<p>There are 12 quarters, right (3 quarters per year with the summer quarter being optional)?</p>
<p>So how many courses on average would one take to hit the 180 mark after 4 years?</p>
<p>Or shall I say, how many credits is the average quarter course worth?</p>
<p>Thanks,
Mohina</p>
<p>Probably 4 or 5 courses per quarter</p>
<p>^^^ I don’t think so, that sounds like a lot, since they have more quarters they take less each term.</p>
<p>^I know its at least 4 but I think u can take 5 if you want to and it fits into a schedule</p>

<p>Consensus on this thread is 3 or 4, apparently 5 is a lot for a quarter.</p>
<p>Typically classes are 3-5 units, usually 4-5. Say the average class is 4.2 units.</p>
<p>Therefore, 180 / 12 = 15 and 15 / 4.2 = 3.57 classes a quarter.</p>
<p>Thanks a lot guise.</p>
<p>So sounds like you could get by with 3 classes a quarter assuming you have some AP credits.</p>
<p>Yes, but watch out on the AP credits. Stanford does not accept them all so be sure that what you have taken will be used at Stanford.</p>
<p>Yeah, I noticed that, MWP. Stanford’s kinda picky when it comes to AP credits.</p>
