Aiming too high? (Cornell AEM, NYU Stern)

<p>Thanks so much for the reply!</p>

<p>My college is kind of weird in that almost all courses carry only ** ONE ** credit.
A full time student needs to carry 3 credits, so I am guessing 1 credit at my school = 4 credits at other colleges.
I earned 3.5 credits last semester (14 credits?), and plan on taking 5 credits in the spring (20 credits?).</p>
