<p>Heys,</p>
<p>I was wondering if I am taking way too many classes next semester.
Over the summer, I am only taking genetics. But next fall, Ill be taking 18 credit hours.</p>
<p>I will be taking Organic Chem. I/Lab, Physics I/Lab, Honors Calculus I, Honors Great Books I, Honors American Politics.</p>
<p>Is this coarse load manageable?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Haha. I think I put the wrong course in the title lol</p>
<p>yeah it is</p>
<p>I would drop a class and go for a 14-16 hour range.</p>
<p>Why not take Ochem in the summer too? I assume you’ve already had basic college chemistry.</p>
<p>I’m curious how that adds to 18 units. Looks more like 17, but I don’t know what your college assigns to each. Could you break it down? Would Ochem+lab=4 units?</p>
<p>I can’t take Ochem during the summer because I am an orientation leader as well. I can only take M W classes for the summer. Plus, I plan on doing research.
Ochem + lab =4
Physics + lab = 4
Honors Calculus = 4
Great Books = 3
American politics = 3
Total = 18</p>
<p>I took 14 hours last semester and got a 4.0.
This semester, I am taking 16 and still kept my 4.0
So, I believe that I could manage this load. But a lot of people warn. Is 18 hours from 16 hours really that much of a jump?
I am still a freshman so all of this scheduling stuff is all new to me.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>If it means that one more class will be added, then it might make a difference. It’s like starting with four classes and then trying to take on one more. If the total hours reflects this, then it means that things will get more difficult.</p>
<p>If I should cut a class, what one should I cut? I need all of them right now besides American Politics… I just want to get done with these gen-eds lol</p>
<p>Oh. Just in case yall didnt know, my major is biochemistry.</p>
<p>You should have no problem assuming you don’t struggle with math (usually Physics requires Calculus too). If you do have a problem, you could probably drop one (Am. Politics) or maybe even do pass/fail for one if you absolutely had to. Most likely you’ll do fine but your GPA will dip a little. It would also mean less time for club stuff and socializing. Great Books will probably take a lot of time doing all the reading.</p>
<p>Yeah. I have to sign up for classes on the 6th. I might just drop American pol. I have a 3.98 and I dont want to lose it yet lol</p>
<p>I am trying to get into med. school, so I need to keep it high.</p>
